My top tips to improve your art.
· Paint in a limited number of standard sizes and keep a supply of canvases in these sizes on hand to be ready to paint when that spark of inspiration strikes.
· Keep a sketchbook and a camera in your car so you will not miss that once in a lifetime scene.
· Cut cardboard templates in the standard 2 x 3, 3 x 4, and 4 x 5 canvas proportions to trace their dimensions for your source drawings in your sketchbook.
· Frequently imagine the scene before your eyes as the subject for a painting. It will improve your artistic eye and hopefully it will enrich your life.
· For painterly brushwork put generous amounts of paint on your palette, load your brush with paint, and lay it on the canvas with a single bold stroke.
· Paint some very small and some very large paintings to extend your painting ability.
· Paint like a professional artist by painting every day.
