Description

From your Studio to the Buyers. This course will help you develop your idea into a final painting, and to understand how to have a strong digital presence.

Many people who are good with brushes and colours have a hard time developing an original thought for their painting. What to draw is a question more dreaded than how to draw. You can learn how to recreate an artwork by watching a YouTube tutorial, but how do you come up with a concept so that your artwork is unique? This course is an in-depth study of how you can come up with an idea for your artwork, and how you can develop that idea into an original artwork of your own.

Developing a concept is all about asking yourself the right questions. Once you have the right questions you can start on your journey of finding answers. This is what this course will help you with. Sangeeta will share her journey of how she drafted my questions that led her to find answers for her painting. You’ll learn

  1. How to decide the theme of your artwork

  2. How to research to finalise a subject for your artwork

  3. How to develop your concept by working on various iterations of your artwork and come up with a final layout

In the second half of the course you'll learn what to do once you have an artwork or a series of artworks ready. You cannot just keep your work in your studio, right? This course offers all the necessary details you need to work on in order to sell your paintings.
