Question #62315 (2009-09-12)

  I had a been a part time painter althrough my life. I had
tried many styles and forms. some of them are realistic and
some of them are abstract. I do not want to an illustrative
painter. I want to be a fine art painter. However, I feel
that many time my paintings have more of illustrative
flavor. How would you advise me to become more of a fine art
painter?

Answer(s):

Good Afternoon

Thank you for your question regarding becoming a fine art painter. There are a number of great local artists who you can contact to get more information on art. The local Arts and Crafts Guild would be a great place to start. The current president, Margie Cunningham can be contacted at 780-743-9701.

The guild often showcases artwork locally. The library has art on display until October, so please feel free to drop by and check it out.

We also carry books on painting techniques as well. For more information please call Adult Reference at 780-743-7073

Thank You FMPL
