Staring<br \/>\nat a blank canvas (or a digital screen) paralysed by the pressure to create<br \/>\nsomething amazing, something that will turn heads and go viral on social media,<br \/>\nmaybe it will even become your best selling work, something that today seems<br \/>\nalmost secondary to the social vibe many want their work to create.<span\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"more\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">In this creative quest for<br \/>\nexternal validation in whatever form it takes, we often lose sight of something<br \/>\nthat is crucial to becoming a successful artist: authenticity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Being an authentic artist<br \/>\nisn\u2019t about churning out masterpieces as if you were the sole employee of a Temu<br \/>\nproduction line, it\u2019s about challenging your unique experiences, emotions, and<br \/>\nperspectives and bringing those challenges into your work. It\u2019s about creating<br \/>\nart that resonates, not with the people, but with YOU first. Do that and you<br \/>\nwill finally allow that genuineness shine through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">One question I\u2019m always asked<br \/>\nby new artists is what the best selling subject is. What genre of work sells<br \/>\nbetter than anything else, what sells quickly, and for a hefty chunk of my<br \/>\ncareer I prescribed to finding out the answers to those questions too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The answer was always landscapes,<br \/>\nabstracts and nudes. They\u2019ve been forever staples of the art world and they do<br \/>\nsell in huge numbers, but the honest truth is, if you have asked the question<br \/>\nabout what art sells best and only pursue financial rather than artistic<br \/>\nsuccess, your work probably won\u2019t sell either. Inner expression generates far<br \/>\nmore success for artists than technique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">There\u2019s a good chance that<br \/>\nI\u2019ve never seen your work, but the reason I make the overly harsh point that no<br \/>\nmatter how good it is it probably won\u2019t sell, is that there are millions upon<br \/>\nmillions of artists all asking that very same question and then beavering away<br \/>\nfor years to produce a body of landscape or abstract work that will lead them<br \/>\nto the fabled road of financial success. Art careers rarely if ever, happen<br \/>\nquite like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Selling art without a plan<br \/>\nmeans that your competition becomes the majority of artists who have got a plan<br \/>\nand the likes of Walmart, or Amazon or the galleries with the biggest and best<br \/>\nmarketing teams. If you\u2019re creating art for arts sake, it becomes silenced in<br \/>\nthe wider noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Feeling lost in the cacophony<br \/>\nof the art world? Trying to copy others for success feels like a recipe for<br \/>\nburnout, you really do have to work so much harder to be better than the artist<br \/>\nyou\u2019re trying to copy, and they\u2019ll already have the benefit of being first. What<br \/>\nif the secret weapon you&#8217;ve been overlooking is right there within you?

It requires self-discovery, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of courage,<br \/>\nin fact these are the same things that make an artist an artist in the first<br \/>\nplace. You need to be both bold and brave, and you need to learn to react to<br \/>\nwhat your gut feeling is telling you to do. To reuse an overused clich\u00e9, authenticity<br \/>\nis a journey, not a destination. It takes time and practice to truly find your<br \/>\nartistic voice, and that\u2019s fine. It will give you time to develop as an artist<br \/>\nbut also as a person, and you will need to keep doing this over and over<br \/>\nthroughout your career, people change, that\u2019s fine. It\u2019s a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">In my experience over the many<br \/>\nyears I have been creating, this really is the best path to creating art that<br \/>\nis not only meaningful to you, it allows you to create art that has the power<br \/>\nto move and inspire others. So, embrace your true voice, and let your art be a<br \/>\nreflection of the beautiful, messy, sometimes chaotic and utterly unique person<br \/>\nyou are.<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi6ElKsIdjHku46rZCr91pJkdHZF8LsvaIQcJAJEWWyF197ioNUcwpvnDXGuS4nFXyGRdcQIJsp2B9gPTPkqMn0gYmcXahQDnWOOOTtIaV-k2vNcL-nWrPcC4XWZNzTXKDfr2U03hnfYyN0OgapAzrhgNt-ZDUGRqv5XaI2K_gZ_y6zy76W1eVTA3OfEPY\/s2000\/pocket%20amplitude.JPEG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"retro pocket radio, artwork by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2000\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi6ElKsIdjHku46rZCr91pJkdHZF8LsvaIQcJAJEWWyF197ioNUcwpvnDXGuS4nFXyGRdcQIJsp2B9gPTPkqMn0gYmcXahQDnWOOOTtIaV-k2vNcL-nWrPcC4XWZNzTXKDfr2U03hnfYyN0OgapAzrhgNt-ZDUGRqv5XaI2K_gZ_y6zy76W1eVTA3OfEPY\/w512-h640\/pocket%20amplitude.JPEG\" title=\"Pocket Amplitude by Mark Taylor\" width=\"512\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Pocket Amplitude by Mark Taylor<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">You can purchase Mark\u2019s work<br \/>\nthrough Fine Art America or his Pixels site here:\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/10-mark-taylor.pixels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">https:\/\/10-mark-taylor.pixels.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You<br \/>\ncan also purchase prints and originals directly.
