Yesterday my teacher had some wise words to a budding artist. He said don’t try to figure out what is going to sell by where the market is. Don’t try to invent something new. The only thing unique is YOU, so keep making art and seeing what makes you light up, what you love to paint. Just keep going. You will find your voice.
