Artists listen up! The things artists shouldn't say but most of us do! AND, you might be sabotaging your work. So, what is it? See if you can guess.
This was one of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given as an artist. I've taught art for over 20 years and repeated it often to my students. Many have taken the advice and enjoyed a much better journey into the world of art. Some have not and maybe quit as a result.
Join me in today's tutorial inspired by the Bob Ross painting called Reflections of Gold. A stunning snow scene that gave me the idea to use complimentary colours to great effect.
I chose to use a golden / lavender theme for this scene and it really POP's Try your hand at it and follow along with me. Then follow my golden rule the one thing artists shouldn't say and continue to enjoy your art.
