Painting is one of the hobbies that helps you to relax and enjoy but it helps us to learn at the same time. Life without colours is truly dull and the essence of painting lies on the colour scheme of that particular picture. A picture can be attractive by making it colourful. Painting is also a good hobby that can improve your concentration. It also enhances your creativity. The hobby of painting can improve your sense of confidence and create positive attitude in yourselves.
If you have to start the hobby of painting then acrylic paint is easy to work because it dries quickly. If you do not have an acrylic paint then you can use water colour paint because it is easy to clean so it is very convenient especially for beginners.
Painting can be pursued as a career. Painting can turn a person into an artist. But how can painting be turned into a career. Actually it’s a difficult path to be a gallery painter but taking risks are very important to be an adventurous person. But it is not like jumping into the dangerous path, even after knowing it. Taking real risks requires wisdom.
To be an artist,
First you have to paint nicely and easily and try to understand the modern language of painting.
Then you should try to exhibit your work. For that, you can join contract galleries and artist groups. If you did not get any art groups or galleries then you can make your own solo shows, if you have enough money but don’t hope that your paintings will sell in the first time itself and do not discourage yourself.
You can get in touch with some art dealers because if someday someone like and buy your work then that will benefit you and that will be a happy situation too.
If you have enough money to support yourself then you can develop your skills and hard work. This will highlight and market your work in India and abroad too. Maybe in a few years you can get a new job related with painting and sometimes that can make you famous and success then occasionally you can sell your paintings and can help you to earn a livelihood probably.
If this method didn’t work then the other method is to find an ordinary or regular job for example, school teaching, college teaching or a graphic designer. This can help you to paint regularly. You can find such jobs either privately or government service. This can help to pay your bills and they can continue your passion and helps you to participate in shows too.
