Make Your Paintings And Drawings Great... Breath Life Into Them!

By: Michael Dale

Perfect paintings and drawings can look lifeless. As an artist searching for perfection don't miss the key ingredient to great art. The most important painting component is

"A magical picture that builds an atmosphere of life"

When creating an oil painting, an artist will add layer upon layer of paint. The canvas surface is no longer flat and dull. The finished painting will have a dynamic surface that builds interest and personality

"There is depth and texture from the applied paint"

There is more to creating an art masterpiece. A painting has its own story. It has its own history

What you don't see when you look at a painting are the plans and preparations. There are thoughts, ideas and research hidden behind each brushstroke

* With forgotten preparatory drawings

* Color sketches hidden in old art folders

* Changes and old ideas hidden by later re-painting

Even if you can copy exactly what you see in front of you, you need to give your painting more

* Before your painting can become Art it needs feeling and understanding

* Your painting's character comes from your flair and expression

* Your painting's success comes from your time and dedication

If you use photographs, make your painting an impression of what you see. Combine details from one photograph with the background of another. Play with components to create a new reality

* Add your memories to your drawings

* Create a storyline for your picture

* Introduce fresh color

You can disguise drawing faults like poor perspectives with confident line-work. Active drawing permits you to disguise mistakes and lack of drawing skill when you work from real life

* With the sweep of your ink pen you can mask the slightly distorted vase of flowers in your still life drawing

* In pencil figure drawing, lively shading can hide body forms that are wrong

* A quick swish of charcoal will make trees in your landscape sketch move with the wind

* A swirling dash of crayon can capture the power of Sea waves

Easily improve your drawings by letting your pencil marks show. Leave your sketch outlines showing to add more interest.

Distinguish your original art creation from a machine produced print. Don't hide your talents Let the painting process show through

* Allow visible brush marks to show the quality of your oil and acrylic painting skills

* Lift your paintings Add a splash of color to your paintings

* Allow water to make your watercolors paintings flow

Don't let your art suffer as an art beginner or intermediate amateur. Take the lead from professional artists and add soul to your drawing and painting

"Reveal your character and personality"
