Production




One important aspect of acquiring skill as a painter has to do with how much you paint. Many artists through time have painted every day. Many of the artists most respected today painted more than 500 works in their lifetime. Zorn, Sorolla, Sargent and Bouquereau made hundreds of life size portraits.

By working many hours every day artists become fluent in the language of painting. If one speaks French once a year it is impossible to sound at ease. On the other hand, when you paint every day the colors flow from your brush with such ease. This concept is something many painters forget today.

N. Fechin; oil on canvas...another artist that painted every day.
