Secrets to being the Artistic Artist

Secrets to being the Artistic Artist involve the skill of Observation. A trained observant eye will catch every technicality because specific traits and attention to details are the life, character and style of any art work. Observation like any thing else does take some practice.

Let me illustrate, when you go to a mall or shopping for something specific. Do you notice everything? Usually not, because the only thing your mind is trained and concerned for at the moment in spotting sales, price reduction, specials or you go straight to an item, purchase it and leave. Now, did you take notice of the squirrel eating peanuts somebody drop as you were walking in the store? What about the toddler with his mom who was staring at you the whole time as you walked by? What color shirt was he wearing?

The secret is to slow down and take time from a busy schedule and notice all the beautiful things available to see in this world. The gifted artist in you will be enriched and motivated by this new found observation because your mind will receive newness like a breath of fresh air into all the details of life. Artist creativity comes from within so broaden your mind by being attentive to the skillful art of observation.
