Birds in the apple blossom and an art tip

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's (actually yesterday's, sorry) drawing is birds in the apple blossom.

Today's art tip is: learn a little bluffers vocabulary, so if it looks like a kid did it that's "deliberately nieve" and if it's scruffy and lines everywhere that's "sketchy and energetic" if you can't even tell what it's supposed to be that's "experimenting with abstraction". This goes over very will with, teachers, lecturers and public alike as they don't want to be the only one in the room who does not get it. You can also get a friend to stand by you and nod wisely at all your comments for extra credibility!

Tim's profile

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip.
Today's drawing is my husband's profile.
Today's art tip: Artists observe society and imagine it's possible futures. That puts them outside society, they are outside the class system, outside any clique, artists have painted royalty and prostitutes alike for hundreds of years. Own it, revel in it, belonging ​is overrated!

Osprey and an art tip you can reject if you disagree!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Art tip: Try not to tell people what to think (about your art).

I once did a painting of a wave, and sold it to a woman who loved it because it "reminded her of her grandfather in his rocking chair." Who knows what connections people make. I feel they are all valid, what others see in your art, the secret to selling art (or just showing it to people) is to shut up and let them make them, if you start explaining you may violate one of their ideas about your work, and since you are the artist, and must know, they get the idea they are wrong and no longer want your work! I've put plenty of people off by letting my mouth run, some even had their purse on their hand at the time! This goes double for excuses "It's not really finished because..." "It would have been better if..." DO NOT make excuses, ether don't show people or embrace their right to like it!

Calligraphy butterfly

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a calligraphy butterfly and dragonfly etc.
To be honest I don't think it's worked too well but I guess not all experiments will pay off.
