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.

Revealing the Timeless Beauty: Crafting a Greek Woman's Portrait

Dear Esteemed Readers, I am absolutely delighted to unveil the captivating journey behind the creation of this exquisite women's portrait. Our source of inspiration hails from the timeless elegance of a Greek woman. In the annals of Ancient Greece, the epitome of beauty lay in three quintessential elements: symmetry, proportion, and harmony. Their visages were adorned with delicate contours and cascading waves of hair, epitomizing the very essence of grace. The heritage of the Greeks unfolds as a tapestry of shared physical traits—olive-hued skin, rich brown eyes, and gracefully straight noses. Complementing these features, one often finds luxuriant tresses of dark hair, elegantly carved cheekbones, and visages bearing the hallmark of a rectangular grace. Allow me to share the very palette that brought this vision to life: A pristine canvas The vibrant embrace of oil paints, delicately thinned with linseed oil A carefully curated array of paintbrushes The final touch of metallic pa...

Illustrated Coffee facewash Label Concept

  Sharing is caring! Designed by Princy , the concept for Coffee facewash flaunts pride, meaning, and prime quality. Design exploration for an illustrated label that flaunts the pride and joy of owning and running a small, happy business that sells to locals. I have tried to represent the core ingredient of the facewash. Coffee may help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin, decrease the appearance of sunspots, redness, and fine lines. The idea was to create a fun, illustrated label that shows off the effectiveness and premium vibe that a facewash accompanies. The name and design elements were chosen keeping in mind that the facewash would be sold locally, and the colours were chosen to best represent the respective flavours.
