Artist Tip Bag

by on May.26, 2009, under Artist Tip Bag

Periodically look at your painting in a mirror.

An oldie but goodie. This tip is in the same vein as the previous one because it helps you see your painting in a fresh way and draws your attention to problem areas. It’s easy for our eyes to become desensitized to these spots after many hours of work. (I know of an artist who advocates painting with the canvas upside down to combat this – however I’ve never tried it myself!) Flaws in perspective especially will stand out this way.

About Me

I am a freelance artist living in Arkansas, US, specializing in historical portraits of American Indians. I blog about the portrayal and influence of Native Americans in art, history, and the media.

I am fascinated by history and world cultures, ancient and modern, and particularly indigenous peoples. My other interests include wildlife ecology, environmental issues & sustainability, journalism, photography, web design & development. I enjoy music and reading (see my book list here).

You can see some of my pastel work, and my drawings in charcoal and graphite, by visiting my online Gallery.
