It’s the end of the year! I love to use these last weeks of December to look back on my year and reflect on the things I created or didn’t create, as it gives a better and larger perspective than monitoring daily progress. So for my blog, I decided to honor the work I did throughout the year and mention some of the best art blog posts I created. This could also serve as blog post ideas for your website, so do not hesitate to recreate my articles.
A little back-story on my blog
I posted my first-ever art blog post in December 2021. That makes my blog exactly 2 years old today! (Yayy). When I first started, I had no idea what blogging was; I just wanted to put the little web programming knowledge I had into action and asked myself, “What topic could I possibly talk about relentlessly?” And I figured that art and creativity were it!
Since then, I have shared over a hundred blog posts about different topics related to art, and I am still going (with no quitting in sight). However, I have created art blog posts that I love more than others for different reasons (I don’t believe parents who say they love their kids equally!).
My best art blog posts
If I were to pick only three articles and call them the best art blog posts I ever created, I would go with these:
- Draw from imagination: The concept of muscle memory
- How to Draw Anything: practices to improve your drawing skills
- Generate unlimited ideas for your artworks with this method…
My favorite format of blog content is educational, and for that reason, I have shared guides on different art principles and basics to help teach self-taught artists how to start in art or improve their techniques, including:
- The 7 Elements of Art? Learn How To Upgrade Your Artworks Right Now!
- What is composition, and why does it matter so much in art?
- Art Standards: your go-to plan to learn more about art as a self-taught artist
- Principles of art? NOT to confuse with elements of art
- Color Theory in Art: Create your own color schemes with paint
I have also shared some insightful articles that provide a specific magnification of mistakes that beginners could be making in their art creation process (some that didn’t even seem like mistakes to me when I was beginning! smh) and those include:
- What’s wrong with your art? The two stages nobody told you about
- Muted Colors Make All the Difference!
- Why do I think it’s important to critique your own art and How to do so?
- Creating Big paintings vs. smaller paintings: which one are you?

Now these are the technically great blog posts that I created and that the internet is obsessed with. These articles have taken the most of work to be produced and they currently drive the most traffic to my blog.
You will notice that the majority of these are very detailed and long as I make sure I create them to match the expectations of a reader who is looking for knowledge or a product recommendation from a search engine.
