Why You Should Give Your Art Away – Learning to Paint
One of the most rewarding things you can do with a finished framed painting is to give it to someone as a gift. Yes, you can sell your art, but when you give a painting away, it is like giving a piece of your heart to someone you care about. Lets face it most of us aren’t going to become rich selling artwork. Most people take up the craft as a hobby to fulfill their creative inner spirit. I started painting as a hobby as my children grew and didn’t “need” me anymore. I have never really had the desire to travel to shows and get my work out in the public for sale. I have and do sell work, don’t misunderstand me, I just want you to know that true beauty in art comes from within your desire to make someone happy by presenting them with something as original as a painting done by you!
You can personalize your work pretty easily as well. For example, painting the mountain scene from the family cottage or camp would have an insurmountable sentimental impact to the recipient. My niece’s first painting was titled “Pops’ Cabin” whom she gave to her 90-year-old great grandfather. The painting was that of a cabin in the woods. It didn’t resemble his cabin at all. The painting represented an important time in her grandfather’s life and the time he spent there with his loved ones. The painting was from her heart and he knew that. Needless to say it brought him to tears because he was so touched by her thoughtfulness.
Landscapes, homes, vacation scenes, and portraits all can be created into un-price able works of art when given to someone you care about. Another reason to give your art away is this; Holidays and special occasions when you ask what to give the person or family that “has everything”. I bet that they don’t have a painting of their children playing on the beach on the last family vacation. They don’t have a painting of the tree swing at the old farm house. Get the point! I know what your thinking, I’ve just started painting and I can’t paint people! Believe me there are ways to paint the suggestion of just about anything – including people. The key is to practice, practice, practice. Do yourself a favor, don’t be a perfectionist. Accept what you can do, do it, and then give it to someone.
Yes you will need to practice your painting skills before you feel confident enough to give your works as gifts and I’m not saying that your going to love every thing you create. If you are thinking about developing your skills as a painter, consider the pleasure you’ll get and give when you give it away!
Now I have explained the joy and pleasure you will receive when you give a painting to someone as a gift. I sincerely hope that this article has been useful. If you are just starting out as an acrylic painter – keep it simple, have fun, and enjoy learning to paint.
