Book Review: Daily Painting by Carol Marine

Paint Small and Often to Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist

Between both the title and the subtitle, they give an accurate picture of what this book is about—how daily painting a small sized canvas will help you to become a more successful artist (that is, sell more work, make more money).

Almost every page has beautiful full color, good quality photos.

Daily Painting has lots of inspiration and encouragement to help you paint more often. Explanations of all the many benefits of painting smaller and more often are also included.

This book is comprehensive. It includes general painting guidelines and how to-s for choosing materials, color mixing, values, perspectives, and composition. Also included are chapters on taking photos of your work and up to date information on how to sell your work online. If there’s something important missing, I don’t know what it is.

To top all this great stuff off, also included in this book are several articles from other artists on various relevant topics dispersed throughout.

If you are a visual artist and need some inspiration to paint more often or information on how to sell more of your work online, this book is for you.

Love the idea of how daily painting something small can help a person become a more successful artist . . . isn’t that true of so many things in life? Success takes day by day small steps . . . Thanks for sharing.

I’m not a painter, but I love the idea of doing small things consistently – I am in the process of writing a book, and what you’ve shared is so relevant to that! I’m encouraged to keep writing a little bit everyday.

  Yes, I can see that the principles can be used in other areas. Thanks for pointing that out!
