It is something that develops over time. Usually, an “artist’s style” begins with you being interested in other artists’ style, brushstrokes and color harmony.

For example, there is a style of painting that can be found in Pasadena that Continue reading 8/20/17 Fireside Chat with Stefan Baumann By Stefan Baumann, 172 contributed posts

About the author:  “Spring in Edgewood” By Stefan Baumann 2nd Plein Air Convention & Expo If you are just beginning to paint on location or have been doing it for years, this is the place to be and be seen.

In the painting “Spring in Edgewood”, I captured a location on canvas that would have been overlooked into a painting of the movement of light and shadow creating a quaint little masterpiece. One of the most important skills Continue reading Artists, Don’t Capture but Create By Hannah, 37 contributed posts

The more you paint, the more mistakes you make, and the more mistakes, the more you learn how to avoid and correct those mistakes, creating more knowledge and fewer mistakes in the first place. Despite what you see in DVD’s and painting shows on TV, none of the artists have the ability to paint what they intend to paint without experimenting. In fact, the nature of painting is one of constantly correcting the stroke you just placed on the canvas by deciding what the next stroke will be. How you repair your mistakes becomes your technique and style, and this process takes making many mistakes, many HUGE MISTAKES.
