Strategies, Ideas & Tips for Self-Taught Artists
Join me as I discuss my strategies, ideas and tips for improving your art without going to art school. I will share my supplies and setup for an online class that I recently took - I'll talk about the pros and cons of online art classes, what "self-taught" means for me, and tips for more effectively teaching yourself to make art without getting a formal art education.

    It's understandable that imitating and replicating a famous illustrator can be a useful tool in one's development as an artist but we need to stress the fact that copying the drawings of others should not be the end goal, merely a tool for practice. Emulating another person's style is a teetering fence to be on because as creators we each should find and explore our very own graphic "look" and flavor, and not borrow too heavily. Each of us ought to create our own character designs and settings. Just wanted to put that out there. I enjoy Mr. Gorey and his artwork tremendously. I really ought to buy a big print of that 1980s poster featuring his lovely and macabre drawing for the PBS Mystery television series intro. Although to be frank about Gorey, his personality and opinions often verged for me on being too wry, curmudgeonly and catty (catty ... that's ironic, haha). I suppose we must call him an eccentric, which is a term that was used on someone who was, well, a smidge wacky or even rude. Do they still label people with that word nowadays? Haven't heard it in many moons. Anyway, he clearly didn't give much of a hoot about what people thought of him!

    • @FindingMyMuse
      @FindingMyMuse 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes he was amazing! I love his work. And sure we must find our own style but art students have been copying the masters for hundreds of years - it’s literally part of lots of art school curriculums. Of course I’m not saying that’s all any student should do 🤗 - one can learn a lot and be influenced by trying the techniques of the masters. But I hear you and understand where you are coming from. 😃

My whole point was that, when it comes down to talent and creativity, being *original* is more important than trying to create work similar to others (beyond mere practice techniques). If you didn't get that from my comment, I can't help that.

    Hello there! What a wonderful video and so helpful for me as a self-taught artist as well. Though self-taught should sound more like self-teaching haha because I'm quite the beginner. This is so encouraging for me to see because your art is gorgeous and to know that you've learned it all on your own brings hope! It just proves that I don't need all the fancy stuff to be able to become good at it. Thank you!! I've never tried gouache but seeing how it blends so beautifully together makes me want to try it. Does it have kind of the same feel as acrylics? Do you have an opinion on what biggest difference between the two? Loved watching you create and listening to your thoughts. New friend and supporter here for sure!

    • @FindingMyMuse
      @FindingMyMuse 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello and thanks so much for your comment - it really means the world to me. 🤗 Love “self-teaching” - that is brilliant 🤩 I really like gouache more than acrylics- it feels more matte to me and I do love layering - it dries quickly so unless you are using it like watercolor (very wet) blending may not work well - that said there is acrylic gouache that you might find easier to blend. But for me nothing blends as easily as oils - hah! And I rarely paint with oils. Please stay in touch! Let’s encourage each other - I haven’t been painting this past month because I have been job hunting but I’m going to get back to my painty table this week because nothing makes me feel better than spending time creating. 🤗🤗

    You CANT beat the cottman pocket sketch box with 12 colors. This is assuming that there us no difference since they changed where they make them. But they are highly pigmented, a little goes a long way. The color selection allows you to paint anything. They mix perfect, the price is right, they are easy to find anywhere and replace colors as you run out.

    • @FindingMyMuse

      Hi Crazy Cat! The sealed palette works well with the acrylic gouache so far - I had the first batch in for about 6 weeks and no mold. That said, I actually have two of them - the one I added water based gouache to was moldy after only a couple weeks. I had seen online that some folks sprayed a little clove EO over the paint and that seemed to help. 🤗🤗🤗

  • @Manyroadsnorules

    It is fascinating how you give life to the subjects you paint and how I can see them going from a bare smudge to a real thing full of life! I think an artist develops"an eye" for details that are crucial for that process. I also believe today's schools are, many times, just businesses. If you are lucky you might get good training but if you are not, you will spend a small fortune and they will annihilate your own particular creativity. My daughter suffered that, her trainer would disagree with her choices of colors, to the point when she stopped trying to learn. That was sad. I think you are so good at what you do... thank you for being so honest!!!

    Wow!!! Your art painting and the sea water in the bottle were my two favorite things in the box. Two very authentic and creative touches to this box. Thank you for such a wonderful unboxing and for the breathtaking art. Very appreciated!

    That was just the most magical experience!!! I love every single item in this box. I felt transported into a mermaids Palace. I love your mermaid painting its absolutely beautiful. The crown is delightful, I hope you enjoy wearing it!!! The ring and bracelet look lovely on you. It was so exciting to see you hunt for the pearl. I'm still in a dream looking at all the treasures.. I will never tire of looking the unboxing. Magical.. Gorgeous, Enchanting.💦💦💕
