Style and Subject Matter Talk

Last week I was asked by Kar (artist friend/subscriber here) about how her teachers have told her she needs to develop a style and she wanted to know how to do that. I told her I was glad she asked that and I would explain it in this week's newsletter. In the video below I go over styles and subject matter.

In short, everyone that has put a brush to paper and created a painting has a style. What I think many students need to do is work on practicing so they can paint in a more advanced style or work with a subject matter and style that fit their degree of painting.
