Starting Successfully

“The value of repeated studies of beginnings of a painting cannot be over-estimated. Those who cannot begin do not finish. The fact is, finish cannot be separated from a perfect commencement.” ~ Robert Henri

The Encarta World English Dictionary defines commencement as “the beginning of something.”

When you start commencing a lot of paintings you are at a prolific state in your career’s development. Being able to readily start paintings allows you to be highly efficient in your use of time. You’ll find it easy to start new adventures with your brush making it easy to uncover many treasures.

Do you find it easy to express yourself artistically? Can you readily start putting down your ideas? What are your hang-ups to starting quickly? Are you weaker in composition or drawing?

Your thorough study into the process of beginning new explorations with a simple precise method each and every time is of utmost importance for a successful career. It frees you up to be extremely effective at getting your inspiration on canvas in a very short amount of time.

The better you are as an artist at composition, the quicker you will be at developing interesting arrangements for putting together the different parts of your compositions. The more mastery you attain at sketching, the faster preliminary drawings can be done.

Work on starting out well and you are sure to finish more paintings in a satisfactory manner.
