Five Tips to Finding your Artist Perspective like Craig Alan

 


If you’re somebody who loves painting and wants to take it up as a full-time profession, you cannot unhear the name Craig Alan and what it means in the creative world. Known for his paintings that represent a group of people aligned and as seen from an aerial perspective, Craig Alan artist is known for pushing boundaries of visual expression. His work is a perfect amalgamation of numerous styles, from pop-surrealism to magic and a neo expression abstract. His art has been exhibited at numerous galleries across the United States and Europe.

The thing is, Craig Alan paintings are so famous because they unfolded to the world a new perspective of iconic illustrations, truly mesmerizing and pleasing to the eye. As an artist, you always have something within you that makes your work unique and innovative, which you need to channel out. Your artist style doesn’t have to be something you’re consistent with, but something that makes you stand out from the rest.

#1: What is your artistic style?

The most struggle artists face is not when their work isn’t represented in a contemporary fine arts gallery; it is when you are told that there is nothing different with your art. Your artistic style is what sets you apart, and it is something that you can sometimes find on accident, on purpose, or maybe both. Your style can be a combination of voices, techniques, colours, compositions, subject matter, etc. And it is something that keeps on changing and evolving. If you’re unsure about what your art is, start by asking these questions:

· What are the elements that bring your art together?

· What themes are prominently shown in your art?

· What kind of subjects are you drawn to?

· Does your art stand out among other artists?

#2: Copy the natural scenery around you

Be it nature, colour, form or shape, derive inspiration from things around you and start painting/drawing everything that draws you to it. Work on your technical skills and regularly introduce yourself to new styles and fresh perspectives.

#3: Practice as much as you can

If you’re only painting art in your head, you will never land a contemporary fine arts gallery. The art of perfection can only be achieved when you’re practising it more than often and not just a couple of months or weeks. Try to create as much and as often as you can. Not everything you create will be your best work but still, try.

#4: Step out of your comfort zone

You will never create something gorgeous if you do not step out of your comfort zone. Explore artistic patterns that you would otherwise never do, even if you’re not doing them correctly. Just put yourself out there, try as many different styles as you want, and push yourself into new artistic territories.

#5: Remember that it takes time 

Finding your artistic style is not something that can happen in a day. You need to give it time and embrace everything, even failures. The more you weave your art, the more your personality resonates with what you create, the easier you will cultivate your style.

Things You Should Know About Robert Mars

Image
Robert Mars draws inspiration from a bygone era of American popular culture to create works documenting a growing nostalgia for the '50s and '60s. Mars' paintings evoke a vintage design quality and pay homage to the idealized era of growth and hopefulness prevalent in the United States at the end of the Depression by applying a rich color palette and tongue-in-cheek attitude. When Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, and Elvis Presley were still alive, people believed in the legend of their distinct, untouchable, and everlasting personalities because there was no such thing as an instant online celebrity. Mars can focus on more in-depth research of the Golden Age of American personalities thanks to the confluence of his notion of personal idols with those of mainstream culture. His first works mirror many of the architectural and mechanical landmarks of the 1950s and 1960s, an era that has always captivated his artistic attention. His first works ar...
