Whether you make art to sell or just to have fun the best way to get better at it is to:
Treat It Like a Business
Now when I say treat it like a business I don’t necessarily mean going to a lawyer and a CPA. You don’t necessarily need an LLC or bookkeeper, but you DO need a business ethic. What do I mean?
Let’s start with one of the biggest challenges new, and even seasoned, artists have…time.
We all want to paint, draw, sketch, whatever, but finding TIME to practice our craft can be a bit dicey at times. If you work a fulltime job, care for loved ones, volunteer, etc. we’re always faced with a time crunch. What to do?
Bring It With You
First and foremost, bring your art with you…if you can. Pretty much every artist sketches whether your medium is oil, acrylic, watercolor…doesdon’t matter. What matters is building the muscle memory for sketching and you can do that anywhere with merely a pencil and a piece of paper.
