Artists: Real Advice, Guides, and Resources You Can Use Today
If you’re scrolling through the artists tag, you’re probably looking for clear, no‑fluff help on making art, getting shows, or selling work. You’ve come to the right place. Below is a quick map of what you’ll find and how to turn these articles into action.
What You’ll Find Under the Artists Tag
Every post is written for people who want to do more than just admire art. Some articles break down hands‑on techniques – like how to blur oil‑painting edges, or the step‑by‑step process for learning sculpture. Others focus on the business side, such as pricing a sculpture, boosting art sales online, or understanding the real steps to land an exhibition.
There are also deep‑dive pieces that answer common questions. Wondering if portrait painting is hard? There’s a straight‑talk guide that lists the real challenges and gives quick practice hacks. Curious about the most profitable photography niches? You’ll get a clear rundown of which specialties pay the most and why.
We even cover the overlap between art and tech. Want to turn a drawing into digital art? The guide walks you through scanning, cleaning up, and coloring on a tablet without drowning in jargon. If you’re thinking about selling Canva templates on Etsy, there’s a legal‑focused article that spells out what’s allowed and what could get you in trouble.
How to Use These Resources
Start with the article that matches your most urgent need. If you’re trying to price a sculpture, read the pricing guide first – it gives a checklist you can fill out right away. Then, if you need to market that piece, jump to the sales strategy post to learn where to list your work and how to write a compelling description.
For skill‑building, pair a technique article with a project idea. For example, after learning how to blur oil‑painting edges, set a small canvas aside and practice the three methods mentioned. Keep a notebook of what works and what feels awkward; that notebook becomes your personal cheat sheet.
Don’t treat each post as a one‑off. Revisit the “how to get exhibitions” piece whenever you finish a new series. The steps are repeatable, so each time you apply them you’ll get better at networking, presenting portfolios, and following up with curators.
Finally, share what you learn. The tag’s community thrives on real‑world feedback. Comment on an article with your results, or tweet a tip you discovered. The more you engage, the more the content evolves to match what artists actually need.
Bottom line: the artists tag is a toolbox, not a library. Pick a tool, use it, and come back for the next one when you’re ready to level up. Happy creating!
