I want to get deep into understanding colours, composition, etc. and I do read up about various artists and their styles and watch tutorials. I am so glad to hear from you that for beginners it is good to learn from great artists by trying to copy their painings and styles. I am doing that currently. Thank u :-)

Fantastic Advice. I think the one about not allowing society dictate what you want to paint is good and taking risks in painting. The problem with me is that I feel that I should paint something that has more meaning/ less superficial subjects. Perhaps your advice to explore different subject will help.

So glad you think so rojodosh. And thanks for pointing out the things that spoke to you. I hear you and understand when you talk about feeling you should be painting something more meaningful. Paint what moves YOU. In doing that, and painting them with passion and intention (understand why you are painting what you are painting) they will begin to take on a deeper meaning. Let me know how it's going!

I am so glad to hear that this video struck a chord with you. I am sorry to hear about where you're at and feel your pain but know there's a way through it. If you can, take some time to play and paint. Paint without judgement or expectation (easy to say but try doing this). I would suggest not showing anyone else this work. Just do it for you and see where it leads. Keep at it and a path will show itself. Your very own path.

I'm going to write down your tips as ten commandments on my board so I see them everyday. Thank you for your nuggets of art wisdom. Very helpful for me who's starting out at a rather late age😁

I'm so glad to hear you will try to paint regularly. I know sometimes it's difficult to make it happen whether it's finding the time or the motivation but it will pay off for you. So try to schedule in painting time. Even if you don't feel like it, show up in the studio. There's always things to be done there and before you know it, you'll be picking up a brush!

Thank you for this inspirational talk. I loved how you said you should paint whatever excites you, even if it's violent images. I have had an interest in murder shows and horror movies and have considered incorporating that into my art. Your words inspire me to explore that in my work.

Jenny that's wonderful! I think as artists we can help others see the world in a different way through our images and content. I was listening to the OnConflictPodcast and was delighted to hear a number of their guests talk about the power and place of art. Here's one podcast with Keith Kahn-Harris who talks about art as being a place to express our violent feelings and thoughts: www.onconflictpodcast.com/episode-14-keith-kahn-harris-rebranding-conflict-resolution-through-civility/ Another guest who mentions art and artists is Michelle LeBaron.
