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.

Why People Should Buy Your Art

Dear Reader Do you pay attention? Do you know what successful people doing right now? Let me help you: They are talking constantly They accept risk every day They are focused! Follow me on  Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Youtube .  These are the artists who are recognised in your society. The ones who are “making it”. Some artists turn to online sales to get aside from having to talk to people. They are shy or don't know how to talk about their art.  Unfortunately, that's the reason they won’t be successful online either.  You can’t build a website, sneak behind the pretty pictures, and wait for the sales to move in. When people find you, you’ve got to be ready for them. Drill talking about your art and yourself. Start conversations.  Connect with people online. The question is why people want to buy your art. We know you are talented but let's don't forget there are many talented people out there. So, how can you stand out from the crowd? Well, l...
