Creating art is a bit like growing a garden. It takes time, care, and a whole lot of patience. If you’re a visual artist, you know exactly what I mean. Sometimes, those amazing ideas in your head don’t quite come out on paper or canvas the way you want them to. But that’s okay! In this blog post, we’re going to talk about why patience and persistence are your secret weapons as an artist, and how they can lead to incredible opportunities, including call for artists opportunities.
The Power of Patience and Persistence
- Art Is a Journey, Not a Destination: Think of your art as a journey, not a race. The great artists you admire didn’t become masters overnight. They spent years, even a lifetime, perfecting their craft. So, be patient with yourself. Every stroke of your brush, every sketch, and every mistake is a step forward on your artistic journey.
- Learn from Your Mistakes: Mistakes aren’t failures; they’re lessons in disguise. When your artwork doesn’t turn out the way you envisioned, it’s a chance to learn and grow. Take a deep breath, figure out what went wrong, and use that knowledge to make your next artwork even better. Remember, even famous artists like Vincent van Gogh made mistakes along the way.
- Set Small Goals: Big dreams are fantastic, but they can also be overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, manageable goals. For example, aim to complete a certain number of artworks in a month or learn a new art technique. Achieving these smaller goals will keep you motivated and show you that progress is happening.
- Keep a Sketchbook: Your sketchbook is your artistic playground. Use it to doodle, sketch, and experiment with new ideas. Sketchbooks are like snapshots of your creative process. They’re a record of how you’ve improved over time. Plus, they’re a great way to keep your artistic juices flowing.
- Embrace Call for Artists Opportunities: Now, here’s where patience and persistence can pay off in a big way. Keep an eye out for call for artists opportunities like those promoted by Side Arts. These are calls for artists to submit their work for art shows, contests, or exhibitions. It’s a chance to showcase your talent to a broader audience. Sometimes you might not get selected the first time, and that’s perfectly normal. Don’t be discouraged. Keep submitting your work to different opportunities, and eventually, your persistence will pay off.
- Stay Positive: Being patient and persistent can be tough at times. You might face setbacks or feel like giving up. That’s when it’s essential to stay positive. Believe in your abilities, and trust that your hard work will lead to amazing results. Your determination and positive attitude will shine through in your art.
Conclusion
In the world of art, the power of patience and persistence are your trusted companions. Remember that art is a journey, and every step, even the small ones, takes you closer to your goals. Learn from your mistakes, set achievable goals, and keep a sketchbook to track your progress. And when it comes to call for artists opportunities, keep submitting your work, even if you face rejection. Your persistence will eventually open doors to fantastic opportunities. So, keep creating, keep learning, and never underestimate the power of patience and persistence in your artistic adventure. Your masterpiece is waiting to be created!

Being a visual artist is all about creativity and self-expression. But did you know that staying organized can actually help you be even more creative? It’s true! Being organized can help you keep track of your ideas, art supplies, and deadlines, so you have more time to focus on making amazing art. In this blog post, we’ll explore some simple tips for visual artists to stay organized and make their artistic journey smoother.
How To Stay Organized
- Use a Sketchbook or Journal: One of the easiest ways to stay organized as a visual artist is to use a sketchbook or journal. This is where you can jot down your ideas, make sketches, and write notes about your art projects. Having all your ideas in one place makes it much easier to find and use them later.
- Create a Workspace: Having a dedicated workspace for your art can help you stay organized. Whether it’s a corner of your room or a whole studio, having a place where you can keep your art supplies and work on your projects can make a big difference. Plus, it’s a great way to get into the creative mindset!
- Organize Your Art Supplies: Keeping your art supplies organized is essential. You can use boxes, shelves, or drawers to store your paints, brushes, pencils, and other tools. Label everything so you can find what you need quickly. This way, you won’t waste time searching for that perfect shade of blue!
- Set Goals and Deadlines: Setting goals and deadlines can help you stay on track with your art projects. Decide what you want to accomplish and give yourself a timeline to do it. This can be especially helpful if you’re working on a big project or preparing for an art show.
- Use a Calendar or Planner: A calendar or planner can be your best friend when it comes to staying organized. Use it to keep track of important dates, like when your art shows are, when your art supplies need replenishing, or when you want to finish a project. Set reminders to check Side Arts for new call for artists opportunities. You can also use it to schedule time for creativity!
- Back Up Your Work: In today’s digital age, many artists create their art on computers or tablets. It’s essential to back up your digital work regularly. You wouldn’t want to lose all your precious art because of a computer crash!
- Stay Inspired: Organizing your thoughts and ideas is important, but don’t forget to stay inspired! Surround yourself with things that inspire you, like art books, nature, or even other artists’ work. Inspiration can help you create amazing art.
- Take Breaks: Lastly, remember to take breaks. It’s easy to get lost in your art, but taking short breaks can help you clear your mind and come back to your work with fresh eyes. Use this time to stretch, go for a walk, or just relax.
Conclusion
Staying organized as a visual artist doesn’t have to be complicated. By using a sketchbook, creating a workspace, organizing your supplies, setting goals, and using tools like calendars, you can make your artistic journey smoother and more enjoyable. And remember, the more organized you are, the more time you have to focus on what you do best—creating amazing art! So, get organized and let your creativity shine!

They have built their reputation on trust and consistency with patrons, artists, and corporate partners. This has earned them an unprecedented level of credibility in the local business community and art industry.

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Las Laguna Art Gallery announces a call for artists working in all photographic mediums to submit images to be considered for the FlashPoint exhibition. The theme is open. Artwork can be in color or in black and white.
Click here for the application / registration
Enter by: 30 September 2023
All artists who submit artwork to FlashPoint will be accepted and have at least one of their submitted works posted and promoted on the gallery’s website and to their client list. A select number of artists will be chosen to send their work to the gallery for the in-person exhibition at a brick-and-mortar gallery in Laguna Beach, California.
About Las Laguna Art Gallery
Since 2013, Las Laguna Gallery has held open calls for art, calls for entry, and calls for art opportunities for artists to promote and sell their art in a gallery.
Quickly becoming one of the premier contemporary and fine art galleries in Laguna Beach, California; Las Laguna Gallery is dedicated to the exploration and engagement of contemporary and fine art visual culture – regionally, nationally, and internationally; through unique collaborations between artists, students, and the community.
Las Laguna Gallery is located on Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Village. Laguna Village is an artist alcove on the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This location is a must stop location with artist galleries and jewelry shops. The location features a restaurant, bar, and there is live music in the fire-side theater Tuesday through Saturday.
Unlike other art galleries in Laguna Beach who only select local artists, Las Laguna Art Gallery chooses artists from around the globe.
With more than 100 art galleries and artist studios to explore, you’ll come to understand why Laguna Beach is a beloved “art colony.” In fact, the area was discovered by artists. In the late 1800s, visitors were making an annual pilgrimage through the canyons to camp at Laguna Beach each summer. By 1903, painters like Norman St Clair were visiting from San Francisco, attracted to the landscape and light only found on the coast of Laguna. Like tourists of any era, St Clair returned home with glowing reports and landscape paintings that led his artist friends to follow him south. It wasn’t long before plein air (painting outdoors) artists like William Wendt and Frank Cuprien moved to Laguna Beach. Within a few years, Laguna Beach had a permanent population of about 300 people – half of whom were artists.
