Work Your Daily! (PART2)

I'm convinced! No one can get me to move off of this position.  If you want to be a successful artist, there's a walk that you have to keep.  Working your craft provides you with the skill development to be able to create high quality work.   The sweat equity pays off in you increasing your skill level, building your portfolio, increasing your sales.  That's why I'm constantly encouraging other artists to work you craft every week.  A good goal to set for yourself is to work your craft a minimum of 40 hours a week.  You can concentrate your hours on your "Primary Medium"  Additionally you should strive to work in at least 2 or 3 other mediums!  The goal of working your craft is to build and develop your skill level.  Just trying to maintain current skills will cause you to loose that skill level.   I'm referring to actual production, development and execution of a medium.  Not how long it takes you to get to the studio or gather supplies.  I understand that some artist have families, other jobs and or commitments.  Even though all of these exist. Working your craft is the equivalent of breathing.  It is that important!   AH-HA! moments occur when you challenge yourself and several mediums. KEEP WINNING! :)
