Modern painting is usually referred to art that was produced between the 18th to the 19th century.

Whether you are an emerging artist or a professional artist, it’s very important to create a portfolio of your own. Now, what really is an artist’s portfolio? It’s in essence a showcase of your best work which will reflect your style or method of work. Do include drawings, paintings, digitalmedia, printmaking, sculptures, mixed media, or other mediums that you have worked with. Ensure you have both black and white pieces and also a full range of color. Traditionally, an artist’s portfolio was a physically created one but today there are online portfolios as well which helps one share it with a larger audience. It’s suggested to have both a physical portfolio and an online portfolio too.

Is there a proper or improper way to view art? Art has been an integral part of human civilisation for thousands of years. It is a form of self-expression that enables artists to convey their ideas, thoughts, and emotions through various mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and more.
