Do Painters and Decorators Also Need to Be Artists?

Do Painters and Decorators Also Need to Be Artists?

After examining the creative field, it’s clear that visual artists and musicians dominate the field. There are so many different avenues to take within the creative field and no one path is the same for every single artist. However, when you’re dealing with home or commercial spaces and need a great paint job, the question might arise as to whether or not an artistic background should be required. The pendulum swings two ways on this topic. Neither opinion is right or wrong. However, they’re both valid and deserve a closer look.

Why an Artistic Background is Helpful

An art background might be helpful because the perspective is more refined through education and/or experience. Artists are normally well-versed in the color wheel and what colors complement each other. Paint makes such a dramatic impact on a room. Because of this, it’s wise to have someone who knows what they’re doing. Additionally, professional artists normally study color concepts and maintain a distinct style. If you’re looking for the style they bring to the table, that’s definitely a benefit. Besides, many of them know the trends and where the future of certain color schemes/designs are going. And trends change quickly. You’ll want someone who will know what color has the potential to look awful in a few years in a specific space.

Why an Artistic Background isn’t Vital

On the other hand, an artistic background isn’t vital for someone to be an excellent painter or decorator. Many design professionals aren’t good with creating artistic designs (graphics, drawing, etc.). They may be able to paint a wall, whatever color they’re told to paint it and that completes the job adequately as well. When it comes to painting a wall, a person just needs to understand the technical skill behind painting a wall (sanding, priming, etc.) in order to successfully complete the job.
A decorator should have a good understanding of the color wheel and the science behind what makes certain colors work with others. With those things considered, painters and decorators don’t have to be artists to do a good job. The artistic background is a bonus.

When it’s time to paint rooms in the home or the office space, many people will spend months trying to figure out which color will work perfectly. If you are one of those people who has the potential to be in paint color “purgatory” for months on end, use the services of a company like Painters Dublin. It’s always helpful to have a trained eye look at your space. The flow of the room and the furniture also make a difference.

When you’re looking to create a space that’s nice to enter into, an excellent paint job will make a major difference. In order to get the best bang for your buck, get a consultation and ask professionals for help on this project. While it may be incredibly helpful to have the trained eye of a professional artist in the mix, a decorator or painter know how to make a decision as well.
