I enjoy painting because it’s fun to learn something new, and also I find that it’s mentally and psychologically stimulating. It’s also about persevering on what I had started no matter how difficult the piece is and to me, it’s a very humbling exercise too, since I will be often told about my mistakes and correcting them. I also enjoy the social aspect of painting, I love introducing friends to engage in this hobby together and also making new friends at the studio. I am also constantly motivated by the work of others in the art studio, this in a way inspires me to build new skills and I learn to appreciate art a lot more.
