For those of you who think that a no masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist then you are in for some surprises. Take it from me, lazy art is very popular and the reason behind its popularity is that artists can get away with it much easier than they could if their work was done properly. Before we go any further I am going to have to ask you a question. Why do you think that people consider their art lazy? Well the answer to this question might surprise you.
When an artist starts to paint his canvas, he does not think about how beautiful the end product will be. He is so focused on getting the work done that all he really thinks about is getting the work done. In most cases the results that he gets are not what he is hoping for. The results are usually something that is below what he had hoped for. This is because he did not put as much effort into his work.
The best way to get an artwork done right is to always have your artist's mindset about the painting. The mindset that I am talking about is one that involves having your eyes on the work all the time during the entire painting process. Without that mindset nothing will ever be a beautiful work of art, because your mind will not be able to see what is truly there.
If you were to paint a painting where you are just sitting and staring at the painting, you would not call it beautiful. You would probably just sigh and move on to something else. To call a painting beautiful you have to use your mind. You have to think about the painting and think about it as though you were actually there. Have you ever seen a painting that you just could not help but stare at the image of? That is because your mind was fixated on the painting and it made you feel that this was a beautiful work of art.
Now this does not mean that a painting will be beautiful for someone who only has their mind set on looking at the work all the time. What it does mean is that a person who only has their mind on the work will never really create anything beautiful or worthy of anyone else's appreciation. If you try to force your thoughts and feelings into your art then you will end up creating an illusion. Your painting will look perfect to you but to anyone else, even those who really enjoy looking at your work, it will look like a picture taken out of some cheap magazine.
The best way to create meaningful and beautiful art is to let your feelings and thoughts flow naturally. This is the best way to truly capture your audience's attention. A lot of artists get caught up in how great their paintings look and how they want to show them off. This is a good thing and part of the art process but it should never come before the artist is happy with the final work. In order to truly be happy with your artwork, you have to let your mind do other things while you paint.
It is a mistake that many artists make is being too focused on what the painting looks like and not doing any of the work other than to just get the finished painting. If you look at any work of art done by an acclaimed artist, you will see how they are able to get the most out of their time and effort when they sit down and paint. You can learn a lot about art from the masters. You may even take some ideas and run them through your own head when you sit down to paint. This is what allows you to create beautiful art and not a masterpiece.
Some people think that they will become rich and famous just by showing off their paintings and they will quit their jobs. This is not the case at all. The key to becoming a great artist knows how to work smart not harder. If you are constantly trying to perfect your work and not spend any time thinking about what it actually is that you're doing, you won't have much to show for your efforts other than frustration and the occasional sadistic pleasure derived from looking at yourself in the mirror. You may become a very successful painter but you will not become a great painter because you never bothered to pay attention to what it actually is that you were creating...
