Hibiscus flowers

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

Today's drawing is hibiscus flowers.
Today's tip: Try not to collect too​ many unfinished projects, finish them and get them out to someone or somewhere. Too many unfinished projects or too much finished art still living at your home with you tends to stop you doing more. Give it away, sell it cheap, sling it on eBay, but get it out! Nature abhors a vacuum, if you have a lovely empty wall you are bound to paint a canvas to fill it up! This is hard if you don't have a full time agent waiting eagerly to sell it all for you, I tend to think "I'll keep this good book until I can send it to all the big publishing houses like it deserves." Just get them out, you can write another! Sharing hundreds of drawings for no profit has done me world's of good in terms of practice and inspiration for my paid work. Finish them and get them out to someone! Good luck.

Days drawing: 492
Blog views: 39,516

Today's is some flowers that spilled over the fence from next door's garden.

Today's tip: I'm not so perfect, I'm giving out advice, that sometimes works for me, in the spirit of help to others. It doesn't mean I always keep to everything I say, don't beat yourself up if you don't either. 😄

Irises 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 drawing is irises.
Today's tip: Try to restrict your colour. Paint boxes come with all these tempting little trays of colour, but it's seldom a good idea to use the green for leaves, brown for trunk, blue for sky, yellow for sun... you end up with too many and it's not harmonious.

I find you can use any colour for anything as long at you restrict the number in each artwork.

More apple blossom

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is more apple blossom, there is tone of it in the garden just now.
Today's tip: Spend some time on organising. This is especially true if you want to make money from your art, but still worthwhile if it's art for fun. Put materials where you can find them and see that you have a clear surface to work on... eliminate the excuse "I would work but I've no space, my space is not set up, my space is being used as a dog house..."

Today's tip: Ideas beget ideas, don't save your best ideas up for some unknown future when you will have run out or can charge more or whatever, work on your best ideas today and you will have more, better than your previous best.

Blossom and Ratatouille!

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

Today's drawing is some cherry blossom. #drawingadayclub

For today's tip I offer this quote from the film Ratatouille:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
