Your artistic style
is made up of four components
these components come in varying amounts and are constantly evolving. No wonder it's hard to nail down!
taste
What you like is a huge factor in what you gravitate toward. Every chef's palate prefers certain ingredients. Your palette is not much different.
PINPOINT FLAVORS
influences
Your influences are both historical, stemming from your formative years, as well as current. We creatives are sponges! And we interpret those juices when we create.
CONNECT THE DOTS
tendency
You just can't help it. You try to not use that tool, color, or [you-name-it], but simply can't stop yourself! Congratulations, you've uncovered an element of your style.
LEAN INTO YOU
ability
You do what you know. And this is true no matter how much we like, admire, are drawn to or have been influenced by certain art. This can feel constraining. But growth is limitless.
DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS

detail
subject
medium
color
motifs
brushwork
themes
rhythm
layout
scale
contrast
