When you think of your favorite artists, chances are they
have a distinctive style. Their work may be way outside the norm for everyone
else, but their unique perspective and sense of beauty shines through in their
art. That’s what makes them great artists. They each bring something different
to the table, whether that means their unique take on a subject or their
stunning use of color.

you think of art? Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and just want to try some new
things? It can happen! Everyone is different and has different tastes, so it’s
okay to create your own style. Below, Hoboken-based artist Charlie Steg shares five
important principles that will help you develop your own artistic style.
