    Being a professional oil painter and art professor for almost 20 years, I got to thinking about the lessons I wish I knew from the start that took me so long to learn. The journey to reach your artistic potential is lifelong, yet truly wonderful. Any kind of learning is about awareness, dedication, and ultimately your mindset. Art is no different. Thus, your artistic improvement is directly tied to your acceptance of this process.
    This video is a guided exploration of my top 5 most important things that I was not aware of OR did not want to focus on at the start. Hopefully, these tips and advice will help you achieve your potential a little bit faster. But more importantly, they will help in allowing you to really love the learning process.
    And please remember everyone, even a bad day creating art is still a great day! Thanks for watching and enjoy!
    This video is meant for all skill levels.

      @@michaeljohnnolan thanks so much for your reply and I’m happy I made your day. I would say do not compare your work with someone else’s, only compare your work from the time you began painting and see the changes. Everyone is different and comparing your work to others can have a negative result. I used to do it, not anymore.
      Also continue learning from different sources. I love your videos because you are a true human being. Blessings and take care.
