Is there a famous artist whose paintings you love, and as soon as you see their work you know it is their work. So what is it about that artist's work that makes it recognizable to that artist.
Is it the style, subject matter, size, medium or maybe just the color schemes that artist uses. Whatever it is this is something that you as
an artist will achieve if you work and create many works of art.
This is something I've been telling many of my advanced students that they should start thinking about as they go forward in their artistic endeavors. Many of my students have become very good at controlling their medium and are becoming very good artists and now I want to teach them that they need to make their paintings their own by doing more paintings and constantly trying new
things.
When someone sees your work, what is it about your work that makes it recognizable to you.
The way to start down this path is pretty simple but it will take a bit of work. The most important thing to do is to paint and create a lot of work, it's plain and simple that you need to work on creating every day. While painting a lot you also want to try different mediums, colors, subject matter and while you are doing this try to
figure out what you like to do best. Then stick with it and do a lot of paintings in that style, medium and whatever makes your work look like you did it.
Study other artists works and try to figure out what it is about their work that makes it unique to them. This can help you see what it is about your work that makes it unique to you.
