How do we Become a Great Artist? by Emerging artist Belinda Lawson

Any one can become a great artist, but what about a successful artist. Let's look at history. Van Gogh could not sell a single painting in his time because he was different  and he  had a  certain  personality. Later in the Yuppie years, Van Gogh  became, what I call, famotized  and in 1982 his Sunflower painting sold for 32 million dollars.  Gran Ma  Moses started painting in her 80's and had the nerve to sell her paintings at a local rural country  store for a little of nothing . One day a gallery owner was driving by and saw her paintings , he thought they were interesting  , bought them all . returned to New York and sold them all. Then he came back for more.
The secret to becoming a great artist is to advertise yourself. NO one is going to offer you a million dollars for a painting of an unknown artist. Treat your art like a business and set goals .Rome was not built in a day. Neither will you build  your art business in a day.
Get your self out there , get your own style , and get noticed. Start small , work hard and end up big.
