17. Finding Your Artistic Style

I think finding your own artistic style the topic I see talked about the MOST among Self Taught Artists. I have been collecting my thoughts for a while and thinking about three big questions: Do you need to have a distinct artistic style? If so, how do you find your artistic style? Does it make you a better artist if you have your own style? Let's discuss… Here's what we cover in today's episode: 1. We talk about where this expectation of having your own unique artistic style comes from. 2. We talk about what happened when I tried to force my style and how I've started thinking about this concept of artistic style ever since. 3. How did famous painters of the past approach style? What about current contemporary artists? 4. Next, we take a ride in the social media time machine. My favorite part of this episode. 5. I give you my formula for finding your own unique artistic style. It's not a shortcut, but it's the one I use and 100% believe in.  6. I talk about how painting in collections can be a great "hack" to making it look like you have a style or common thread in all your work.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenkristineart/  Website: https://www.laurenkristineart.com  Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/laurenkristineart I hope you enjoyed this episode - please share it with a friend who needs to hear this message, too.
