“What Is Stopping You From Being A Great Artist?”

It has been some time since I last posted on my blog.

There are no excuses but there will be some explanation…

You will see when you look though earlier postings that the name of the blog has changed from 'Learning How To Draw'. Of course, you aren’t interested in the reasons but, if you read on, you will learn something about what could be stopping you from being a great artist.

When 'Learning How To Draw' began I didn’t really know what to do, what to write or where I was going…

Is this familiar to you?

• Do you know what you want to do with your art?
• Do you know what subject you want to paint?
• Do you think you might to try drawing instead of painting?
• Or, what about trying sculpture?

It doesn’t matter that all kinds of different things interest you… that is great. Drawing on its own isn't enough for me... I want to talk about painting and drawing.

Here is a risk. It is a massive risk that will stop you succeeding with your art… Distraction.

'Learning How To Draw' was too small a subject area for me to write about when there is a whole world of art to investigate. But, if I wasn’t careful… the whole idea about writing about art would be lost.

You will have your own specialist subject interests. You will have your own particular aptitudes and skills... The wisest path to success is to know what you are good at.

It makes good sense to concentrate on subjects that interest you. Combine the wisdom of bringing together your skills and interests... Dedicating yourself towards being your best is a road to success.

The old saying “Jack of all trades, Master of none” sums it all up.

It is so easy to be distracted… this could be stopping you from being great in your field of art.

I know I can paint and draw many different subjects reasonably well but I cannot be successful in everything that interests me.

I am specialist in just 1 or 2 subjects, so I will not be talking about sculpture, wood carving, pottery and etc.

I will talk about what I know…

If you are interested in learning how to paint and draw… and you are focused on success with your painting and drawing then please join me with… Learn How To Paint And Draw

See you soon
