Artist Articles - How To Guides
Learn to See.
To experience, an artists mind, and way of thinking try the following steps.
Look up, down, in and out. Upside,downside, left and right. Vertical, horizontal, 3d, 2d, one way, even two ways. EVERY DAY.
This will help you gain perspectives and angles.
Sit still in your front room, look around and study in your mind all the colours and reflections.
Shadows and shades, tones and blemishes. Appreciate the intricate colours and reflections.
This will give your mind a palette to work from.
Next study all curves, lines shapes, lengths, depth.Thickness, thinness.
This will give you form.
Go to sleep in a quiet room, and remember all of the above.
Remember your dream, and begin to draw all that you have imagined. All the colours in a blur. shimmering, winking swirling and twinkling. Add the shapes that you have seen ,let them form and evolve, it may be a mess. But it's your creation, your dream. You are the artists mind.
