100 ways to become a better artist

Here are a few ideas for artists who might wish to quicken their progress in developing their skills:

*Prepare a hundred or more similar-sized small supports.

*Choose a subject, motif or series you feel has legs.

*Start bashing off everything that comes into your head, no matter how glib. Stretch your mind.

*Abandon bad ideas in a timely way. Don't waste too much time or get hung-up on outright duds.

*Go from one to the other like a bee goes to flowers. Cross pollinate. Ideas breed ideas. Quality breeds quality.

*Keep your strokes fresh, creative and confident--then both you and your work will become fresh, creative and confident.

*Be always in a state of rejection and acceptance. Steadily sort your work like a deck of cards. To win--to get to the stuff that's really worth enlarging--to evolve--you gotta love the little-bets game.
