      I am the same, finally starting again after family. At 70! But it seems harder to 'get out there', to be seen! It´s like young people are so many and have so many options. Friends all over the internet. Some galleries don´t even want to take old people in shows... don´t know why.

      74 here. I showed work when in college. I didn't want to be an artist for hire. I don't do well when doing what other people want me to do. Life took me in another direction--and I don't regret that. Now I have the time. I've got a lot of supplies built up. Most importantly, I have no pressure to make a living from it. Just please myself and see where it goes. The pandemic has really helped by narrowing my focus. It's also limited my space and that has had some surprising benefits. It's very different painting at this age. It's a shame that isn't honored. All the life experience brought to the table ...

      @@pac2840 We can be the change, to speak for respect for elders/ wisdom/ experience. I understand that some other cultures value elders more than in the USA, which is known to value youth, physical appearance, etc. But on the other hand, if you look closely into many art shows, and even series like Art 21 by PBS, you will see that there are many elderly artists that are put forth. All artists can have their audience, and no artist will appeal to all audiences as another factor to consider. Older artists can be an inspiration even more than younger, to people who need inspiration. And they may have learned more, to have a deeper wisdom to share, since art is all about public communications. Blessings.

    Your style is simply the result of all the choices you have made as an artist over time. There is no shortcut to this process that is authentic and sustainable. So just work. Keep what you like, and discard the rest. Look at your work critically to determine this. Each new work is a new opportunity to explore

      RISD have long had a strong reputation for being among the best art schools in the US. However, hearing Clara's story about not getting a tenured position due to being Asian, and many other racistic problems with that place, perhaps it is not worthwhile going to that school anyway.
      May I recommend a more inexpensive state university that offers the exact same educational quality - yet more affordable and with more decent values on etnicity. I went to Washington State University in Pullman, WA and that was absolutely excellent.

    I want to thank you at Art Prof for your work. I'm enrolled in a post-grad art research program and it has been very confusing. I'm autistic and my research project is related to autism but my professor doesn't seem to get that I need exemples and extra explanations to understand even what the program itself entails. I'm extremely passionate about arts and I was somewhat happy with my work so far (I'm still at the beginning of my career and I see my technical flaws, but I'm having fun), but interacting only a handful of times with this professor made me feel so inadequate and incompetent. It's artists like you at Art Prof who make content online with clear explanations who really help me stay focused and want to work harder 🧡 Thank you!

    l agree with tackling content along with all other basics. I also agree with trying to copy old master's to learn real difficulty, how deep you most go to understanding how to get there. I copied many Winslow Homer master works until I could create his extremely emotional brush strokes. Then I copied Hopper to learn about shadow and light. I see so many beginners fail at abstract because they didn't take the time to learn the basic tools of the masters before using unconventional tools to make unique marks and shapes. It always reminds me of someone trying to restore a piece of furniture or automobile without 1st going through the proper preparation steps.
    In anything you try to learn, there is this bit about teaching the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve learns from both mistakes and accomplishment. Therefore, no need to feel good or bad about failure or accomplishment. Just keep working , working, working, and allow the vagus nerve to do the rest for you. Once you start allowing those emotional thoughts get in the way, you are taking away from your vagus nerve learning. I am dumfounded to why all instructors of art, sports, music, don't teach about he vagus nerve. (getting out of your own way)

    Those tissue pieces are so beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’m really inspired by how you really used the medium to heighten your subject matter (I read themes of fragility, aging, deteriorating...).
    I’m find myself also getting hung up on trying to perfect my technique and foundations before I can even pursue a subject/topic, which in the end burns me out and I don’t even get to touch the subject matter. So, thank you for the advice!
    I’m relatively new to Art Prof, but I’m really enjoying all the videos I’ve seen so far. Thank you and team for doing these videos!

      Thanks for watching! Yes, it's really common for many people to think they have to be "ready" to pursue a subject, but there's really no such thing. I encourage my students to tackle technique with subject at the same time, it's tougher at first, but when you get used to it, it ends up feeling very natural.

    I think a way to speed things up is to do active "aesthetic exploration" (on everything visual art, music, story, people, feelings...). Once you find what resonnate with you and can groupe things that give you similar feeling and put word on it you'll have way more tool to express yourself & gravitate toward what means the most to you.

    Based on the younger artists I know this strikes me as an excellent topic. 'Find' seems like the correct verb; do lots of work and let your style emerge.Being that I'm late to art (65) and my day job is a career, I don't have to sell any work.I just need to identify the theme(s) that are important to me and execute them in the mediums that work. Three years in and I'm working in carving, art glass, and oil painting.

    I don't have a style but my best work is acrylic paintings. I do feel the pressure to find a style but the excitement to try doing something new always beats me. So, what I'm doing now to push myself a bit is that when I do a painting I like, I will try to make 2 more that are similar. I feel that this teaches me the discipline to eventually, someday, have an exhibition with work that is somewhat consistent.

    As a young artist in high school it seems like finding a style is a given and that being academically high in technical skill is highly sought after. For me, at least, style comes as the small quirks of the person making art, the cadence of their marks and the combined active and passive choices of the artistic process.

    Your style is mostly determined by what you like. I like certain colors more than others. I like sharply defined foreground with blurred backgrounds. I like more dramatic colors rather than subdued, even though I honor the beauty of it. Also, it is determined by your choices of technique, media and what you avoid. Altogether, it is the beginning of a style. Then, you exaggerate it. Then, it is a distinct style.

    Ive been painting all my life, and I always knew I wanted to express myself in paint. But it wasn't until my early 50's that my style finally emerged, ten years later I'd honed that initial idea into a method and look that I am happy to work with. It's been a painful process, and not for the faint of heart. Maybe some people aren't prepared to wait that long, but if you don't give up a look will arrive, and it will take you by surprise.

    I actually like your emotionally charged work about depression the best. It's the most powerful and personal of your work. I actually like your MFA installation a lot. I love working on large oil paintings and the physicality of it. I find the water and waiting work kind of generic

    What a great topic to talk about. Love the intro, such a simple but hard but answer about finding your style. I feel like I have a style (which kinda feels like a crutch now) but maybe its about finding era's in our works and journeys as artworks rather than a style, but i would tottally agree that your style isn't expected to change in a month or too. Cheers for the detail and excited to join the community online.

    My style is strongly influenced by materials, mood, and how much time I have. I know it's mine because I did it, and I have my own unique blend of things I find interesting enough to work to finish, and my own emphasis building into it. I experiment a lot and challenge myself, but I also have my comfort zone of fun stuff to make.

  • @larkeldarian

    I have been told by many arty folk that I have a very distinctive style, but still learning, exploring different mediums and ideas, lots more to get familiar with on my art journey. I tried wood carving only once and was very good at it I need to try it again.

    I am glad I found this channel. I have drawn off and on my whole life but would stop for a while and then come back and then stop. I didn't even consider that Art school could be a thing. i have a Graphic Design degree and a Web & Digital Design degree and all I want to do is draw lol I really regret not being able to just pursue that after graduating high school but many reasons for that. Now as a 39 year old with a stable design job - I am tryin got focus on creating a consistent practice to build my skills and TRY to not worry about finding a style or being "too old" ( i know this is not true) and slow down and enjoy the process.....it''s just really hard lol Enjoyed this video!

  • @Quiltypickles68
    @Quiltypickles68 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    lol I'm 55 and there's til too many mediums I'd like to tyr to ever have a style yet. Mainly I love textiles but I'll just as quickly sculpt or paint a subject or mix as many things as possible together. just adore what you do and keep going.

  • @joyceeveler3468
    @joyceeveler3468 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just found this channel and absolutely love it! At 58, for the first time since high school, I’m trying to develop my artistic self. Trying many mediums but get like I need to develop my drawing skills so I can creat what’s in my head. And then, I love simplistic styles in my home (like charcoal) but I love painting in a bright palette. And I feel if I jump around to much, I don’t progress much in anything. Oh the challenge….

  • @conniemcconnell8347
    @conniemcconnell8347 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I enjoyed this session. What I understand is your style is very much like your fingerprint. The more you do the fingerprint will happen. And we evolve and grow. So the style of today will change the more you work and experiment. I also find my style does change somewhat from acrylic to watercolour and to scratchboard. Partly because each medium has it's own technique. But then, when it's together, there is still that feel of the same person that touched the work.

    • @artprof
      @artprof  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a beautiful sentiment! Style definitely works that way. It's something so original and unique that it flows out of the artist no matter what medium they work in :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

I really found your retrospective very valuable! Thank you so much for an authentic.share!!!

  • @yelenaned6525
    @yelenaned6525 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think that as a selfmade artist I developed the way of applying acrilic on canvas and particular strokes of brushes and the way of mixing colors and developing my paintings, which brings me as a result to painting pretty recognized works.
