-I've learned to be vulnerable. Believe me, this is putting yourself out there.
-I've learned not to be hard on myself. I'm dedicated.
-I paint fast and I have no loss of inspiration.
-I've learned to keep my goals to just a few. Painting everyday, start selling soon. Occasionally clean.
-I'm committed. At some point this summer I won't have internet, but I'm still painting every day. It's like I'm shooting for a perfect attendance record in 7th grade; but I'm probably gonna get the flu soon.
-I've learned that it is impossible to keep paint off my clothes.
I've tried to take some short cuts, but I guess we all need to learn it the hard way. For example, take a class from a master painter and see what brushes they use. Then a year or so later, another good painter uses the opposite. Then you realize you have to try every damn brush yourself and see what works for you. I knew this from the beginning, but I hoped those workshops would help more.
-Workshops are great, reading art books and watching videos are great, but you still have to put the work in. This is fun, but it is hard work too.
