More on the doing of it…
The craft of it is relatively easy to get on with. A sort of practical right/wrong business with its own order and a set of rules all to itself that won't let you down if you follow them.
The it itself isn’t difficult, mainly because it’s non-prescriptive. Doesn’t always occur, but when it does, it is, by its very nature, relatively easy.
It’s the practise of it that’s the hard one. Learning to keep on going in the face of terrifying odds. Constantly doing drawing and painting when every financial and responsible bone in your body screams out for you to stop and take up hairdressing.
