🎨 5 art “rules” you might be better off ignoring


Hi Reader,

How many times have you heard:

“You can’t paint until you know how to draw,”
“Using a projector is cheating,” or
“You have to master the rules before you break them.”

These kinds of messages swirl around the art world, and while they may come from a well-meaning place, they often do more harm than good.

That’s why I’ve put together a new blog post (and video) that tackles 5 popular art beliefs that (mostly) deserve to be ignored.

Whether you've ever second-guessed using a reference photo, felt guilty about tracing, or wondered if you’re “qualified” to call yourself an artist, this one's for you.

Let’s break the cycle of perfectionism, self-doubt, and gatekeeping, and start creating art on your own terms.

Remember, proudly call yourself an artist!

Together we are Artist Strong. 💛
