“The life of an artist is not just for a privileged few. The skills involved in becoming an artist are learnable, but for a novice, this journey may seem intimidating. Rest assured, most anyone can learn to paint and draw, but the most important quality to have is perseverance and patience. Solutions in painting and drawing are simple if we can allow ourselves to see them. Learning technique is not the biggest hurdle—it is keeping us from making painting or drawing more difficult than they need to be.  And while the results are important, they are not so important as the changes that take place while learning.  The transformation into a more sensitive and intelligent human being is, for me, the most rewarding part of developing as an artist.”
