The End Is Found By The Beginning

Sometimes one of the hardest things about art making is figuring out how to make your next brush stroke, or line, or mark, as good as possible. This can be difficult to do especially when you are feeling unsure or self-conscience; that feeling then bleeds into the mark, and it simply doesn’t look good.

In gratitude, Nicholas
