Lesson Learned

#21daysinmyartworld

Hello artist friend

Wow, day one was so so good friends! {And is still going strong due to different time zones and rates of joining in, so don't feel pressured if you've just joined. 😊 }

I've been reading the stories behind your favourite paintings and finding them uplifting, insightful and moving. It's clear that for many of us, the most recent is often the favourite. 😉

Or, as Picasso said when asked which was his favourite - 'the next one'!

I love that there were so many varied reasons for them being favourites, and such diverse styles and media. Thank you for sharing so openly and enthusiastically from the very first day. I always love this challenge and I can tell this round will be no exception!

Today we're sharing something we've learned on our art journey.

It might be a cautionary tale, or something that has helped you thrive.

It might be about a specific technique or material, or it might be more general.

Maybe it's wisdom from exhibiting work that could help others, or perhaps it's something that changed the course of your artist path.

What is something you've learned about art that you can share today?

Let's offer each other the benefit of our experience!

Wishing you creative joy in abundance
