How To Make Your Salt Marsh Paintings Marketable

By Raymond Price


Drawing art can be done as a business or just as a hobby. The most important thing to know is that drawing is a kind of decoration that makes an office, table room or even your bedroom look good. Salt marsh paintings are the drawing types that seem to grasp attention from most people. In explanation, the salt marsh is a low flat coastal land that is flooded with salty water brought by tides. If you wish to be a salt marsh painter, below is a strategy that can help you to improve your skills.

You have to make sure painting salt marshes is where your passion lies. Passion is that inner feeling that drives you in doing something and will not stop to hunt you down until you perfect yourself. Therefore, you need this driving force if you are going to make it.

Vary your drawing tools. On those first days, before you are sure of your skills, it is advisable to try a different tool. You can start with pencils, go to charcoal pencils all the way to paints. Meaning, at the initial stage, you can make as many corrections as possible until you get that real draft picture you wanted.

Practice is key for you to make it. No matter the fact that you are a novice, with constant practice, you will perfect your capabilities. Your skills will keep on growing and improving from one level to the other. If you fail at the first time, keep going and with constant practice, you will start seeing some improvement.

Get critics from family member and friends. These are the close people that are with you almost all the time. You need to ask them about how your paintings are. Before they comment on it, caution them to be very frank with you. There is no need of them pampering you, it is good because they do not want to disappoint you.

From the criticizing moment by loved ones and making immense corrections, your next move is to outsource criticism. You must welcome experienced and professional painters to give their word on what you have been doing. Take note of what they have to say because they have the real knowledge of what is needed.

Accept and own compliments and comments gratefully. When you get that disappointing feedback from a friend, mentor or even a client, do not feel disappointed or broken. You should accept all comments and act on them. If you are complimented, well and good, accept it responsively.

Last but not the least, after all the hustle to become a pro you need to specialize. You have to come up with a personal trend of painting that will identify you. Customize your work to a path that you love. That style should be something you get happy with and enjoy the outcome. With that said and done, you will be good for business.
