Pursue art like a sport to be successful.

I know there is a lot of advice out there for artists to treat there art like a business and this can be good advice.
However I see many artists misinterpreting this and spending a lot of their time, effort and money on exactly the wrong things.
I believe that a better analogy is to treat your art like a sport.
That is what I will be discussing in my latest live broadcast of Becoming A successful artist.
Every Wednesday at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time I go live to share my knowledge and experience with aspiring artists.

Set aside one hour a day to make art, any type. After a month it will be habit and you will drastically increase your skill. Family and friends will buy something from you and now you're a professional.
I love this channel. Tim Packer has helped a lot of people. He's the Dave Ramsey of the art world.
My favorite books (for learning about art):
- Art and Fear by David Bayles
- How To Be An Artist by Jerry Saltz
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

I think your teaching on composition is excellent - I would like more focus on the "Unique Voice" - that art that stops people in their tracks - yes - I'd love to do that.

What is your opinion on the use of projecting on the surface to get the proportions before painting. It seems like cheating .

[@timpackerfinearts]

At the end of the day, I believe all that really matters is what the finished art looks like. I know there are a number successful of artists that make use of projectors but that alone won't ensure that the finished painting is great art. Some purists believe that working from photos at all is "cheating". I would say don't worry about what anyone else is doing or says... just do what feels right for you😊👍

Do you put a price on each piece or just tell them.

[@timpackerfinearts]

I put a price tag on each piece but I put it on the side of the painting and tell them thats where the price is.. so if they look at the side, I know they are at least interested in the paintind 😊
