I have been serious about painting for a little over two years now. I try to paint daily, but mostly....I try to improve my brush strokes. I have found that the more you practice, the better your lines become: fluid, interesting, bold, strong. Strong brush strokes, beautifully made, are your gift to the world.
This doesn't come quickly. It takes time and perseverance. Don't rush the process, it is a life force, an energy that you will want to return to daily. Keep working and trying new things and don't forget to evolve and test yourself.
