It's a good idea for artists to join a group whenever possible. In my area there are several: Clovis Art Guild, American Association of Artists, Society of Western Artists, to name a few. To be able to get together with like-minded people, network, share frustrations and successes. I belong to the Society of Western Artist, a group of artists dedicated to representational fine art, and having art shows twice a year. Once a month we have a demonstrator who shares his or her talents and techniques before the whole group.
Saturday we had Rudy Murrietta demonstrate his portrait techniques. It was wonderful and informative to watch someone elses methods. I believe I not only learned something new but I was also motivated and inspired to come home and try some of his techniques on my own work.
