Take care as you work at your drawings and paintings searching for visual perfection. Even if you are capable of producing exact copies, make sure you aren't missing the key ingredient...
"The best pictures have a sense of life of their own"
It doesn't matter what art medium you work with... Oils, watercolor, acrylics, pastels, inks, charcoal, pencil or crayon. Each has its own painting and drawing quality. In good hands each has its own personality and character...
In the hands of a skilled artist the character and personality of the art medium can be influenced by the artist themselves...
An oil painting has depth and texture that can be flattened by turpentine or linseed oil or other thinners
The surface texture can be roughened by oil color being applied straight from the tube with a knife
There are other additives that can be used to thicken oils more
An artist working with acrylics also has a wide choice of additives to thicken and thin paint consistency. It also has the advantage of being water soluble... allowing watercolor style paintings to be created.
Watercolor artists also have many tricks and techniques... including wax resist.
Also, for drawing you have the choices of working with burned wood (charcoal), graphite (pencil) and ground stone (chalks and pastels). Each will give you different qualities.
The truth is...
It isn't the substance of the art materials used that makes a drawing or painting look great... It is what the artist does that makes the difference.
It is the artist who gives a painting a sense of life
It is an artist who gives a feeling of movement to a drawing
It is the artist who feels what the nature of charcoal can give to the quality of his sketch
The reality is that unless you are prepared to get to know the painting medium of your choice and understand what it can do for you... You will struggle to get the best results... Your paintings will be average at best
If you aren't prepared to practice your drawing skills with graphite, charcoal or ink... whichever drawing medium you use will disappoint you.
Your best Art will come from...
Your hard work and effort
Your commitment and dedication
Your knowledge of the art materials you use
And your artistic flair
Go on... have some real fun with your artwork... Give your Art some Heart. Let your character and personality shine through into your drawing and painting.

Building Muscle Strength - 5 Tips For Building Strength and Muscle Quickly
Despite your best efforts to build muscle strength, has it still not happened yet? Does it seem like no matter how hard you train you still can't get the results you want? Today I'm going to share with you, 5 killer tips and techniques that will have you building muscle strength like never before.
If you are not using these 5 techniques then you will always find it hard to add muscle and strength no matter how hard you train. OK, so let's get started building strength and muscle.
1. Train like a barbarian. How often do you see people at the gym just sitting around and not building up a true sweat? If you want to get the results you want then you have to work hard. Focus on every set and rep like it's the last you will ever do. Push yourself to the limit. There's an old saying "You only get out of it what you put into it".
2. Focus on the main big muscle groups. Spend most of your time on your chest, back, shoulders etc with compound exercises such as dead lifts, squats, chin ups, bench presses, barbell rows, over head presses, leg presses and dips. This will allow you to train harder, have better technique, finish more reps and recover faster. If you focus on weak muscles like the biceps and calves then all you will end up with is weak muscles.
3. Keep rest times short and honest. This ties in well with point one. If you have large breaks in between each set not only are you not going to get the full benefit of a workout but you are not going to be able to measure your improvement. Keep a stop watch and stick to your plan, and you will reap the rewards.
4. Supplements. Supplements are great for building strength and muscle but only if you choose the right ones. Make sure that the product you are using has been around for over 3 years as there are a lot of flashy new products whose long term effects have not been tested. The best products which I recommend to use are protein powder, powdered creatine, fish oil tablets and multi vitamins. Using these products is great for building muscle strength.
5. Commitment and dedication. It takes a great deal of commitment to follow through with a workout routine but it is your only option if you want to build muscle. You should try to work out 3-4 times a week. This strains and puts enough tension on the muscles for them to grow but doesn't over work them. After your workout let the muscles heal with a protein shake and rest.
Ok, so now you know my 5 tips for building muscle and strength. Remember and apply these tips and techniques and you will soon get the body that you desire- the body of your dreams. Weight lifting isn't a 5 minute wonder, but with the right advice and teachers you can build muscle quickly.
