Every individual is born with some unique talent. Some will be the natural artist which may be in so many different disciplines and techniques. Another person will have a talent for business strictly, has the incredible talent to be the hef. However everybody has an inborn talent that is uniquely ones own.

A visual artist loves to draw and paint. The artist has a creative mind that can imagine what he or she will have as the end product and this may be a pencil drawing, a watercolor painting , a landscape, a portrait, a flower or maybe a seascape or even an abstract interpretation of the desired image. This talent is an inborn ability to the. visual artist. In order to properly develop the skills and master so many different details of the trade one needs to practice, to practice every day. Choosing the art classes will be a great experience, art colleges are available to let the student learn from the experienced masters of the past. One may study the variety of techniques to recognize different styles leading to execute an art piece. Once enrolled in college one will discover so many detailed approaches and finally find the right direction to go in a chosen creative art career.

And it all begins with drawing. The first order of creating visual art is to develop the drawing skills and this will be continued and practiced at all times. Drawing is the basis of each and every piece of art, each painting, each sculpture each creation. And there never is a thing as too much drawing, rather the skills continue to be perfected which turns into great satisfaction for the artist. And only the artist will know when the piece he or she is working on is finished. All of this are instinct based processes by the artist, what the the teacher does is teaching technical skills and give suggestions of improvement. The artist actually works from an inspiration inside of the mind in a special creative process. And this process has now to be placed on paper support surface where the first sketches come to life. One selects the right paper stock to work with and selects the best suitable pencil to proceed since many different pencils may be used for drawing. Once the sketch is finished the creator will judge his or her own work and probably repeat sketching more samples and also sketching more details. This way the original idea begins to take shape, the composition is also worked on and a concept for the larger painting becomes clear to the artist.

Creating any artwork takes time like baking a special cake. The material is assembled first, the recipe is studied and followed step by step and now begins the execution of the project. A cake is baked right away after mixing it all up. A piece of art needs a lot more time to become a finished piece. The step by step ingredients can mostly not be done in one session because technically a painting needs to be stopped today, looked at tomorrow and then comes the decision of what has to be worked on now or maybe changed in some way. Depending on the technique chosen the artist is bound by medium he or she is using. Watercolor looks as a fast easy work done in one session, some artists can do this provided they have the correct skills for it. In general the watercolor will be continued for days to come yet has to stay fresh . While oil and acrylic mediums will take more time even weeks to be finished this being a very different technique. An artist is a hard worker and gets totally engaged into the work process without noticing the time that went by.
