Hacking Your Brain to be a BETTER ARTIST

Love your lesson and demo - one i will keep to rewatch. Thank you!

Great to watch how every brush stroke makes expression itself and listen to your advices!

Very interesting to hear about/think about this side of being an artist, in my experience as an artist my brain has been trained into understanding that results come from practice and every drawing I do is better in some way than the one before so I look at other artist's work and wish I could do that not thinking I could never do that but knowing how much more work I would have to do to get to that level, we think of it in levels I think whereas the 'non-artist' starts with the assumption that being 'artistic' is a talent you're born with which they lack and that the talent comes in varying degrees, which kinda insults or dismisses the years of practice and work that goes into being better.

You can tell Chelsea puts a lot of time, thought, and energy in how to approach and teach art. Her work is also expressive, beautiful, and exciting. Great addition to the Proko instructors!

Dear Chelsea, thank you. I do a lot of prep and sometimes I wonder as to it's value...thank you for confirming "Plan like a turtle, paint like a rabbit. " A Chinese proverb first told to me by Shaung Li, watercolorist.

Encouraging video and I enjoyed watching the painting process. Thank you!

That was great, thanks so much! Loved the lecture and the painting. What was that varnish stuff you put on it at the end?

Great lesson @Chelsea Lang! Thank you.
