RUFUS IS A
One of the most important lessons in learning to paint is a willingness to #dothework. But all work and no play isn’t good!
dread what you should do because it’s not what you want to do. Don’t fall into this trap!
Rufus knows that he can sabotage you by occupying you with lessons and makin g you feel like they are the only thing you sh ould focus on. “ You must only paint your lessons.“
Instead, take a break from time to time. Paint what intrigues you. Explore a style t hat interests you. Experiment with color. Take time to explore the mystery without worrying about the mastery.
“Don’t deviate from the lessons.” “The lessons are the most important thing.“ Rufus loves to employ this tactic to crush your artistic aspirations. Believe me — I want you to #dothework. This is how you learn. But do not paint your lessons simply out of duty. The lessons are there to guide you in a logical path through the work, so you can become the best artist possible. However, if you only paint the lessons, it becomes like reading a dull but recommended book. Before you know it, you’re avoiding the lessons because you
The mystery will draw you in, lead you on, and keep you progressing with your Photoshop painting skills. Forcing yourself to continue only pai nting lessons out of duty for an extended time will numb you out and turn you off to the entire process. Rufus knows this. Rufus wants this. Don’t let Rufus convince you not to have balance in your painting endeavors. Both mystery and mastery are equally important!
