I understand I’m talking to myself at the moment but I believe that one day that will be overlooked for what I’m hoping to achieve with art. I once heard something that Malcolm Gladwell said about the “10,000 Hour Rule”… Essentially it takes about 10,000 hours to master any given subject.
I’m willing to believe it.
I figure I’ve already logged about 300 hours since I took art seriously as a grade school student, so I’ll use that as the starting point. From here I officially begin my 10,000 hours. I will draw, review, paint, reflect, self-critique, celebrate success, fall short, scream in frustration, smile and just try again. All the while I will post my progress here.
While this process is more for me than it is for you, I do hope you take something from this – so that I’m not just a loony talking to myself.
In all seriousness, if anyone ever does read this I hope my 10,000 hour journey is as insightful for you as it will be for me.
