How to art

1.  Have patience. Good art takes time. Don’t rush it. If you can’t do this you will need to rethink your activities. 
2.  Find something you enjoy/can look at for a long period of time. (for instance a puppy, a flower, a sunset) Unless you’re going by memory, which is a lot harder. If you’re a beginner, I don’t recommend.
3.   Pick out a medium. This could be many different things; pencil, paint, pastels, colored pencils, markers, sharpies, cut out pictures from magazines, glue and glitter, trash, recycled newspapers, or book pages.
4. Lay it out or draw it out. Figure out how you want it to look and how to space it out before you start. This will help you from restarting half way through. Or throwing it away.
5. Just do it.
6.  Marvel at your masterpiece. 
7. Watch it being hung up in MOMA
