We are told that if we want to become better artists, we simply need to work harder, practice more, and put in the hours. But what if that’s exactly why so many artists stay stuck for years?

After more than a thousand art critiques and years of mentoring artists 1 on 1, I started noticing the same patterns appearing again and again, regardless of skill level.

In this talk, I’ll break down the biggest misconceptions about artistic growth, why practice doesn’t always lead to progress and the feedback loop that can make the difference between repeating what you already know and actually getting better.

If you’ve ever worked hard on your art skills and wondered, “Why am I not improving?” then this talk is for you. :)
