Artists who try to produce perfect drawings and paintings can easily miss the vital key. When you produce an identical copy the result can look lifeless. The missing art element is

"A picture that gives you a real sense 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

"With a surface of texture and depth"

To create great Art involves far more. Each painting has a hidden history

There are thoughts and plans you can’t see. There are ideas and preparations an artist keeps locked away

* 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 flair and expression gives your painting character

* Your time and dedication is needed for painting success

Artists who use reference photographs can combine details from more than one photograph to create a new reality. You can play with subject details and backgrounds to develop new ideas when you

* Include your own memories

* Tell a story with your picture

* Use vibrant colors

An active drawing allows you to get away with mistakes when you work from real life. You can disguise weakness in your drawing skills with confident line-work even poor perspectives

* With a still life drawing, let the sweep of movement of your ink drawn arcs mask the slightly distorted shape of a vase of flowers

* 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

* The power of the sea can be captured by a swirling dash of crayon

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

Don’t hide your talents. Allow the painting process to distinguish your original artwork from a machine produced print copy

* Show your painting skills let your brush marks show with oils and acrylics

* You can lift your paintings with a splash of color

* 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

"Let your personality and character shine through"
