Practice is important to any art form.
Many artists make practice a routine and a ritual through their whole life.If we practice developing the skills in which we like most, this gives us utter happiness and growth in life. It is true that “what you do every day is more important than what you do once in a while.”
To learn any skills we have to practice. The practice should be wholehearted, regular and repeated.
Researchers have noted that top performers in every industry are committed to deliberate practice. The best artists, musicians, athletes, CEOs, and entrepreneurs don’t merely work a lot, they work a lot on developing specific skills.
For a long time I thought that practice meant daily drawing or painting any subject we like, so I used to take photos from magazines and paint them and finish them, happy every day that I was working.
But looking back, I saw that I didn’t learn anything. I didn’t grow at all. it was only labor.
But recently I got to know that there are a lot of exercises to develop particular skills, and many artists seriously work for years on those exercises.
One artist says that “Having a solid grounding in the fundamentals allows you the artistic choice to express yourself however you’d like. Lacking those fundamentals, you are a slave to your poor technique and will always struggle to express your self eloquently.”
So learning some basic skills is very important. We have to learn it in the right way. We have to make a plan and we must practice daily. Because every subject is infinite, we have to learn for our whole life.
I love traditional muggu (rangoli) with dots inside. I started to practice two of them daily for a week and again two the following week. It only takes five to ten minutes. I also did calligraphy in the same way; taking two letters each day, I practiced for a whole month. And I did some drawing exercises in the same way. So doing four exercises it only takes one hour for me.
In this process, when I was painting or drawing, suddenly I got the feeling that particular exercise helps me. At that time my eye opened. I saw my improvement — that was a great moment in my life.
Artist and Art teacher Paul Foxton gave great advice on practice.You can see the link below .link http://www.learning-to-see.co.uk/effective-practice
I am doing some drawing exercises daily. I will explain them in future one by one.
