Two Key Elements of a Successful Confident Artist

October 20, 2016 | 0 comments

There are artists who work hard and succeed and other artists who also work hard but never seem to get ahead. So, what is the difference between a successful confident artist and an artist who is never noticed.

One…paint and get your paintings out of your studio so the public can see and enjoy them.

Make things happen. This develops confidence in yourself and your art. Don’t just sit and wait for someone to find you…Your chances of being discovered are millions to one.

Two…Fail….fail often and Dream Big.

When you are open and accept failure as your path to success it doesn’t destroy you.

Failed paintings are part of the process of finding who you are and developing your unique artistic voice.

Dream Big…dreams should always exceed your current ability to achieve them.

Create brilliantly,
