Hi, I'm in the first phase as an artist, experimenting and educating myself, living in a small town in India. And I'm 60 years old, dreaming of being an artist now, thinking it's never too late. Thank you for this wonderful, insightful video that gives me hope and encouragement to continue on this journey.

Don't just study art and the art world, learn about people, sociology, nature, psychology, pain, love, LIVE A LOT it doesnt matter how much you know about art and how many fancy words you can throw in a conversation, you need to know about the world, follow your interests, "FIND SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND LET IT KILL YOU". (bukowski) and then tell the world about that experience through art (: Share your trascendental subjective experiences.

I think Warhol said that he felt a responsibility to everyone that bought his art, because now his job is to keep consistently producing art and to appear on interviews and have this image to make his art be more valuable, because the image of the artist - his story, history and personality is a major point of success in the art world. So that said, I think that today, artists, by using social media, need to create their own world, where its 50/50 - 50% about their art, and 50% about themselves and the process. Btw documenting the process will eliminate doubt if the artist has used AI, which would make the work have this aura of authenticity and originality

Dear .... I always watch your videos. It has been useful for me as a self-taught artist. I am now 60 years old. I have been working since 1983. I used to write poems since childhood. I entered the field of painting completely by chance. I was working as a photographer in Sharjah. Dali's paintings I saw when I went to a friend's house on a day off changed me a lot. But since I was a child I used to find shapes on mossy walls. It was just that. My painting experience. I don't write poems anymore. Words became full strokes. So far, the creativity has been sustained even in the face of financial hardship. My ambition is to paint till my last breath while listening to music. I was juggling many jobs to advance my painting career. Many people ask, do not all the paintings sell? I will lie that I am. Now my children say firmly. Keep drawing as you wish. So I am satisfied.

As a working class man, I am self taught, because my parents would never have been able to send me to art school, even now as a working man I couldn’t afford to go to art school. Also, only 8% of artists in the uk are from working class backgrounds, so it isn’t just being self taught that is the problem, it is a host of problems.

Thank you for this info. I'm 54... Just painted on my first canvas March 2023... After a life of constantly being discouraged by teachers, never really having support from 'friends' and told I was going to Hell by my family for wanting to be in the arts, I feel like it's now or never... I don't know if I can ascend the lofty heights of being in galleries, but once I feel more confident, I would just want others to like what they feel when they look at my pieces... Still exploring with student canvases and cost efficient paints atm... But learning so much organically. All of this information is very encouraging... 🙏

Absolutely brilliant and clear summary of how to become a professional artist. It is really difficult and personally rewarding occupation all things considered, but one must persist, the goal is worth it. Thank you for the huge amount of work you have put into distilling all this information into a logical pathway of development.
