When bowing make it look like your bow is turning in to you, or look in a mirror sideways and make corrections. Keeping your thumb bent is also a number one key, if you are a new player this is very common. Just remember bent thumb, bow toward you. (it is an opticle illlusion, if you think it looks strait it will be slanting )
P.S.- When you first start out try not to practice more than 30 min a day at max, as because your muscles are forming and they are prone to become weak, the recipe for bad habbits that are hard to break.

OOPS, In the orchestra, ya, the have been doing it A LOT! longer. You have to work up to it.
Imagine this, you ate this one type of cereal your whole life, nothing else. Then all the sudden you ate a big steak, what do you think will happen? I would rather not go there, lol.
Moral of story is that, 30 minutes is more than enough at the level you start at to get the job done. You could really hurt yourself, you may not feel it when you are in position, but it is gonna hit you like a brick wall when you relax your muscles.

Ooh, I have the PERTECT solution. Purchase the Flesch Etudes book. It may be extremely boring, but it'll improve your bowing like nothing else. Also, buy the Bach Etudes book, too. (I forgot the exact name, but it's very easy to find). Bach is the foundation to all bowing. Trust me on this. By doing these two things, I got a full Scholarship at NYSSSA (google it), sat concertmaster, and am in New York Youth Symphony, and perform in Carnegie. My bowing used to be TERRIBLE. I only used to use the upper half, and was lucky if I bent my wrist even once.
Hope this helps! I know it did for me.^_^

Hello
Follow the excercise in the site http://www.violinwizard.com/violin_playing.html
under bow hold. I also bought the bow-right which is listed there, because even though my teacher corrects it ( iam intermediate)when she teaches , i constantly makes mistakes when i practise.
After buying that my teacher does not complain much.
Thanks..
