Craft and fine artists are people who create or produce material by hand, using any combination of materials such as clay, paint, fibers, or metal. They create art for aesthetic and also functional purposes, such as weaving or ceramics. There are many different types of craft and fine artists that each practice a unique art form.

The arts are always a popular career choice, and the field of fine arts has a wide range of different jobs that artists can take on. Fine artists can create anything from paintings and drawings to sculptures and glasswork. Jobs in this field vary widely depending on the field within fine arts that an individual specializes in. Painters are some of the most well-known fine artists. Painters use an assortment of tools to create their art. They can use many different kinds of paint, including watercolors and oils, as well as specialty brushes and rolling equipment.

Most craft artists do not need formal education, but depending on the work you want to do, some higher education and advanced training are recommended. For example, some artists may need to complete four years of art school for painting, sculpture, or printmaking to be able to do complex art with a high degree of skill and quality. It is easiest to find the requirements by looking at the detailed job descriptions for each craft artist position.

According to the industry profile for Craft and Fine Artists published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for craft and fine artists was $49,120 in May 2020. The industry with the highest concentration of craft and fine artists is Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers. However, craft and fine art is a versatile profession with opportunities that span multiple disciplines, so artists in this field are not limited to one type of art but can explore a variety of fulfilling careers in several lucrative industries. Below is a list of the top-paying industries for Craft and Fine Artists.

As a largely self-taught artist, my last art qualification was a GCSE in Art and Design at Secondary School obtained in 2004. After pursuing photography for many years I returned to painting in 2016 and started capturing scenes around Scotland, particularly at the extremes of the day and at night. I also enjoy the challenge of painting portraits and attempting to capture a likeness.

For example, some people do not have the patience to sit down and accurately render every tone and detail of a subject. Therefore, they may be better suited to learn color and brushwork from the Impressionists rather than the rigorous practices of the Russian academic painters.

Or maybe you want to become a master realist painter like John Singer Sargent or Joaqun Sorolla. To get anywhere near this goal, you would need to follow a dedicated and rigorous training regime that focuses on drawing and the other fundamentals of painting (color, value, composition, etc).

Next, you should decide on a medium to focus on, at least for the short term. This will allow you to really get a feel for how the medium works, so that you can then pay more attention to the big-picture aspects of painting, like color, composition, value, etc.

You really cannot go wrong with oil paints. If you are not sure where to start, I suggest either jumping straight into oils or starting with acrylics with a view of jumping over to oils once you are more developed. There are some fantastic acrylic painters, but many of them paint in a very contemporary style. The traditional painting techniques which were used by the old masters are much better suited to oil painting.

Tip: For those of you who are concerned about the harsh solvents used in oil painting, like turpentine, then check out odorless solvent. It makes oil painting much more pleasant. You could also look into water-based oils.

Watercolors are generally considered to be the most difficult to pick up due to the untamed nature of water and the fact you are not able to do much re-working of errors (as the paper can only absorb so much water). However, if mastered, watercolors can produce stunningly elegant paintings.

For this reason, I recommend you start out with either acrylics or oils before venturing into watercolors. However, watercolors are a fantastic complement to your acrylic or oil painting as they train a different skill set.

For example, John Singer Sargent was famous for his meticulous portraits using oils, but he used watercolors to paint impressionist and relaxed landscapes and portraits. These watercolor paintings probably felt very refreshing for Sargent, who would have been accustomed to the lengthy and tedious portrait painting sessions.

Also, this is not to say you must choose a medium and ignore the rest. I encourage you to try many different mediums but have one which you really focus on and get familiar with. It is better to be a master of one medium than be average at all mediums.

You will be able to find all this at your local art store. If you are an absolute beginner, it may be worth starting with a beginner package that includes most of the basic supplies you would need. You can then upgrade later on.

These are what I consider to be the core pillars of painting. It is important that you get familiar with them early, as they will help you understand what exactly is going on when your brush hits the canvas. Learning these fundamental areas will benefit every stroke you make.

Value: Value is an element of color, but it is generally considered as a separate fundamental area due to its importance to painting. Every color has an underlying value somewhere between white and black. For example, take the following painting by Claude Monet.

If I take color out of the equation, we are left with nothing but the different values ranging from light gray to almost black. This painting has a strong value structure, as you can clearly make sense of it without color. A strong value structure is not essential by any means (just look at many of the great Impressionist paintings) but it certainly helps in giving your painting a solid foundation. If you paint with accurate values, then you have more leeway with your use of brushwork, color, and detail.

Edges: An edge is what separates two shapes. It can be either hard, soft, or lost. Hard edges have a clean transition between the two shapes; soft edges have a smooth transition; and lost edges are so smooth you can barely see them.

Brushwork: The physical marks left by your brush (or your palette knife, finger, or anything else you use to paint with). This is an overlooked aspect of painting, which is odd because it is what makes a painting look like a painting. If not for brushwork, we may as well just take a photograph or practice digital art rather than traditional art.

Technique: How well you are able to perform certain actions. Good technique will develop over time as you gain experience and become more comfortable with your brush and paints. But you need to be careful of any bad habits which you may pick up along the way. This could be the way you hold your brush or the types of strokes you make. Bad habits can be incredibly difficult to fix after you have been practicing them for a number of years.

My main suggestion for your first painting is to start general; try to capture your initial impression of the subject. Think about the subject in terms of shapes and colors. You can then refine the painting and add more detail.

The finished painting is below. This should give you an idea of how rough and general I start a painting. Of course, some subjects require more delicate attention, but that is something you need to consider on a case-by-case basis.
