Here is my second study of horses and I’m sure James Reynolds would be rolling in his grave with the mistakes I did. I’ll show it to the crit people tonight and see what the consensus is.
With reference to yesterday’s blog and the 1000 paintings the artist should do before he becomes good; a friend of mine, David told me the same holds true in most fields of expertise. In this case 10,000 hours seems to be the magic number, before say a person masters the art of fencing or javelin throwing. So with the average of ten hours per painting the artist would come out the same.
Food for thought!

1000 paintings?
ReplyDeleteThat means I only have about 980 more paintings to do.
At the rate I'm going, I'll be a master some time into my 50th lifetime (unless you count all the hours I've spent painting houses, in which case I'm probably already a master painter).
