“The Foundation of All Building”

Being in the construction industry for all of my adult life has taught me much about life in general. I guess the mainstay of all construction and indeed most principals of sound building of anything starts with the foundation.

How does this relate to art? Simply stated, without good solid foundation principals of color theory, structural considerations, time-honored processes, patience and commitment to your craft, you probably won’t become the artist you could be. Sure, raw God given artistic talent is without a doubt required, but not without the time-honored principals and processes added to this talent. We are really building the foundation required to withstand the myriad of challenges that will come our way daily. Without our knowledge of our craft firmly in place, our artistic talent is simply wasted.

To this end, study the principals of what makes the professional application of our artistic endeavors, expose your minds to the historical giants in our profession, soak in the beauty of applied art, and create a solid and timeless foundation of knowledge to stand on for your career.

Until next time, have fun and enjoy the journey-
May God Bless-
