What Nashville Artists Believe About Their Art

By Arthur Russell


Artists come from all walks of life. One thing that is true of someone like this is that they have a true passion for the creative side of life. It can come in the form of something which is more abstract. However, many people like to see a landscape, for example and paint this how they see it. There are many Nashville artists like this who have made a success of their career.

A bland looking apartment can come to life when you add an abstract painting consisting of tranquil colors and brilliant effects. It can make the world of difference to any wall. Of course, you have to choose the right painting. Something dark and moody will have the opposite effect. One can imagine how this will affect a person with depression.

You would submit to galleries and eventually you would begin to make a name for yourself. However, these days, it is easier to market yourself because you have access to the internet. You have social media at your fingertips. Everyone is on these types of accounts and they will view your work. However, you need to make an effort.

Creative people will know that you have to start at the very bottom. This is where everyone begins. It would have applied to the greats, such as Picasso, Monet and Renoir. Van Gogh sold one painting in his time, but today his work is worth a fortune. These people would have told you that it takes a lot of courage to get going.

Not all artists enjoy these commissions. You have to do something specific. You don't necessarily have the freedom to decide what you want to paint. On the other hand, sometimes, your client will tell you that you are free to paint something which simply comes to mind. You may have a particular style that they enjoy, and they will be confident in this.

You have to realize, that at some point the work will come back to you. All creative people have times when they get frustrated. When you let it get to you, it only gets worse. Artists also need to plan their lifestyle and time well. It is natural for them to spend day and night painting. This can lead to success, but it is not healthy.

It is important to lead a balanced lifestyle, where you make use of a good night's sleep, fresh air and a good diet. You need to socialize with other artists, but you shouldn't forget to socialize with people outside your art circle. Other than your family, you will need people who don't paint. Your life shouldn't just revolve around your career.

There is definitely competition out there. Artists will find that this can weigh them down. However, it can be difficult to set up any type of business. One should see this as a business as well, and unfortunately most artists don't do the marketing side of their business. This is why a lot of people will give up.
