On Painting

Get in a painting routine and stick to it.

Painters paint, every day. 

Paint every day and you will get better at it. 

Paint what you love.

If your work is boring to you, it will be boring to others.


On Learning

Study about painting when you are not painting

Look at other peoples painting to see how they view subjects.

Know who your influences are

Always be ready to record a new idea for use later through sketching, photography, etc.

On Life

Keep an open mind and be willing to try new things.

Always challenge yourself.

Vary your routines from time to time to stay fresh.

Stop reading this and go paint!
