Secrets of self-taught artists

Greeting Readers


Well, I am not an artist, even I have never learned drawing from top art school and learned how to draw and paint in person. If readers you are like and do not have this luxury then "congratulations! You are a self-taught artist".




I have no guidance provided the art school however, I have the freedom to learn how I feel. If we have determination and passion and devotion then we can achieve anything that a trained artist could achieve.


Some of the great Indian artist or we can say master of paintings include:


  • Dorathe Victory: One of the most inspiring and self-taught artist.
  • MS Hussain: No comments needed for his artwork.
  • Mahesh Pandit: This man already impressed the Prime minister of India.


So, if you are at the journey of a self-taught artist. Here is the ultimate guide to help you.


1.  Copy the professional: 

Sometimes the best way to study the techniques of the great professional is to try and copy their work. This will teach you the colour choice, stoke usage etc. This is only for studies.




2.   Criticizes:

 I love this part, judge your work being unbiased. Never satisfied with your work cause you know you can do better than that.


3.   Don't Expect:

Sometimes we create our own heartbreaks through expectations. Be focused on the aim, rather than living in the dream world. Cause reality not always works as we imagined.


4.  Practice make you perfect:

This is the hardest part of a self-taught artist but very effective. Most of the time will be consumed by 9 to 5-day job and college studies. So you need to find the time and take yourself for session regularly. Sessions are not meant to be longer. Divide you aims into modules.


5.  Stop comparing:

Learning is a slow process. Only focus on your improvement and stay committed to your decisions. Get inspired by others but do not compare yourself with them.


6.  Record everything:

Keep records of your early works and now days work then see the difference of improvement. I will bet you, this only lead a smile at your face.

Take control of your life

Greeting Readers A smooth sea never made a  skilled sailor We all have certain ambitions in our life and willing to take action towards achieving them. That person is not out there. You create that person you want to become. I am working on myself every day. I create myself with my habits with my mindset , my interests . I am creating my story every day , and I have a chance to start a new chapter . You can let go of that you don't know what to do in life, just by accepting how you feel. Don't let society  "whatsoever they think?". Take control of your life. They don't care: How are you feeling? then why should we care? To control your life: First, you have to accept your life as your own and should have self-realization that you are the only one who can change it at any moment. I do remember I used to think that "I won't start a blog. What if no one reads it. And what if someone laughs at me?" The core truth is, there is no "if" . Take...

India lost brilliant stars:  Shushat Singh Rajput and Irrfan Khan which left us all in mute.
