What Makes a Painter Happy?

Happiness, as we all know, is a state--one in which many of us would probably like to live, at least much of the time. When you are happy, you paint better, and when a painter paints better, life is better.

That said, I think painters are happy when (in no particular order):

- their drawing skills improve

- they feel their latest painting is one of the best they have done

- they find their own style

- mixing paint is a natural and beautiful experience

- they learn something new about painting

- they can't wait to start painting

- their painting is "liked," "favorited," "pinned," and/or "re-tweeted" on social media (even introverts)

Finally, I think a painter is happiest simply when he or she is happy about their painting.

I'm sure you have other ideas on what makes a painter happy, so please feel free to comment.

  1. Like you, I additionally paint and in spite of the fact that I'm offering an explanation to help you, I'm your rival. My goal is to paint and business sector my craft better than you. Then again, offering learning is likewise learning. We learn with one another. To develop one's abilities, there's study and practice. One additionally needs to have the work condemned by individual specialists. They will point the strengths and shortcomings of our works and will help us through our improvement as specialists
