A lot of people have seen my paintings and told me that I am gifted... I want to say that is absolutely wrong. No one on this earth is gifted.
Everything everyone has ever achieved has been through hard work and practice. You do not become a master of your craft when you can achieve the goal you want every time. You become a master once you learn how to conquer every mistake you will encounter along the way.
No one was there when I threw 4 paintings in a row into the garbage. No one was there when I was making myself so sick with fumes that I would lose my balance and fall down. No one was there to witness me painting everyday for 2 years straight to get to the point I am at now.
No one is gifted. You can do anything you set your mind to. Just work hard and don't give up.
