Paintings are a great way to decorate one’s room, office etc..But mere putting up of any painting is neither desirable nor recommended. Paintings should be carefully chosen as they reflect one’s personality in the most subtle manner. One should choose paintings keeping in mind one’s long-term liking and disliking.
While choosing a painting for your
living room, think twice if that is the message you would want to convey to all
your guest. There is no point in putting up paintings of wildlife if you love the
beaches and not the forest.
Similarly, one should not put up
abstract paintings only because it is gaining popularity over the world. It is
absolutely fine to put up scenic landscapes instead.
For painters, starting a new
painting, it should keep in mind what they really want to convey through their
paintings first. All other conditions like color, texture, the canvas is
secondary. One should be clear about the theme first. While choosing a theme,
one must think of the preferred genre first.
If the painting is done for any special
purpose then the theme of the occasion or purpose must be given utmost
priority. Suppose the paintings are to be sold to schools then theme must ac
comply with the school environment and cultures. Again of the painting is for
corporate then it must be so themed that it is either inspirational, practical
or matches with the company’s products.
While choosing a theme it is not
necessary to look out for the current affairs. One can paint anything at his
heart’s content. But simultaneous knowledge of happenings all over the world
will give a painter more inspirations and ideas. Thus knowledge of other
people’s works is important while deciding upon a theme.
Lastly, one must choose themes for
their paintings based on the other available resources. If they are short of
certain colors or materials that they aware would be necessary for the painting
then they must think twice. A good planning is important before deciding upon
any theme,
