Can a self taught artist of paintings become an established artist? How?
Q. Is it necessary to have a BFA and a MFA to become an established artist in India? Does art education play an important role? Is is necessary to have a degree and masters in your portfolio description for people to appreciate your paintings. Can a self taught artist become an established artist if he has great talent? If he holds exhibition after exhibition, and on the strenght of his art alone, can he prove his art to the world, that education is not everything, inborn talent can also prevail.

A. Hi there, Here in western europe, art educations only teach you some way of thinking. You don't learn how to paint at all. People do look at the resume, but it helps more when they like your work. If you practice a lot on your own effort, you can gain skills and develop your own style. Of course talent helps. But you also need to practice every day.

How to become a great artist: 10 great masterpieces in a lifetime OR a lifetime of great paintings?
Q. This question is for the artist community. Yeah, what does it take to become a great artist? Let's suppose i paint 10 really really good masterpieces in my entire lifetime. Is that enough to make you a good renouned artist who will be remembered for ever? Or is it compulsory to dedicate your life to art and spend a lifetime doing countless good (or just good) paintings? Which of these two?

A. I would have to agree with both of them, BUT... There are a few artists in the world whose talent is such that their art work is just spectacular.These people usually have a photographic mind of things around them. They are in a league of their own. BUT...unless they do anything with this talent they have, nobody will ever know they exist. Therefore, you must push yourself into getting your art out into the public for them to see. Unfortunately, this may lead to you working on those "good" paintings and never having the time to master your art disciplines. Then there are artists who have been great, were okay with their artwork, but took a detour into another form of art. These are the iconic artists who made a niche for themselves.… [cont.]
