Artwork to Love
Category : Arts
At some point in any of my chats with fellow artists and followers, I get asked whether I prefer to do plein air painting or inside the studio. A silent argument between the two has been lingering on some people’s minds. So let me address that continuing concern here in my blog to give you access about which of the two should be weighed better or does one really matter over the other?

Having an online presence in social media is absolutely one of the most important marketing strategies to promote a brand nowadays. There is no need denying the fact that social media (coupled with online options) is the best place to market your products because it is where the most influential and exciting interactions happen. Every year, technology offers something that modifies social media and makes people even more connected to one another and to the things they love and are passionate about.

Art has become part of our civilisation since I don’t know when. Well actually, probably since caveman days. It is unarguably present in all aspects of our culture and activities. All of the significant historical events are brought to commemoration through the arts. Perhaps that is where (or why) we have the phrase “a picture says a thousand words”. It is the most important record in every society there is. It is through these that people are brought together as great accomplishments are being remembered and particular values are reinforced.

Amongst the many misconceptions surrounding art is the belief that you have to be born with the talent to achieve something from it. So many people are afraid to delve into arts because they think that there is no benefit from it because they do not know anything about it – or they believe they are “talentless”. Well, let me say, that does not hold true. I have seen and known of many a person who states they have no skill, gain so much from the actual act of being artistic. Remember also that art comes in many forms. Art can be painting, or drama, singing or playing music, or pottery, sculpture, printing … the list goes on and on. Art has been a large chunk of my entire life; from bringing inspiration, motivation, peace, harmony, confidence and success, it has also brought me a wide array of actions that is advantageous to my growth and well-being.

There are so many things happening in the art world. At times it can be a bit intimidating especially for newcomers. There is a need to cope with the realities of the ever-changing era of this vast art industry. Life of an artist is a bittersweet mix of an infinite sea of uncertain arrangements, profitable demands, and aggressive competitiveness.

We’ve heard of writer’s block, but have you heard about artist’s block?
Frightening as it may seem, the phrase is essentially the absence of creativity; something no artist wants in his life. Although it is not an unusual experience for an artist’s imagination to dry up – which can be frustrating, particularly if you are meeting a deadline or have to produce a piece for an occasion. The process of bringing back inspiration into your craft can be demanding but is well worthwhile.

A series of painting might seem strange to some. It brings varied thoughts to both artists and spectators. The negative (or positive), if your focus is to sell pieces, is that if a large group does not like the subject, all may be dismissed. But likewise, if the subject is popular, then you are offering many options of that popular subject.

For some, it can be a hard decision on what to buy. How do you come to that decision? What are the factors you should consider when buying art pieces?

There is often more to art than paint brushes and creativity. There is a very practical side behind the scenes. There are, of course, exhibitions, marketing, administration, plus also keeping up to date with that is happening. I’m a member of Redlands Creative Alliance and it’s all happening with them at present. The Alliance, run by Chair May Sheppard, has been operating now for 7 years and has a strong membership that expands daily.
