What being an artist means

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls"

-Pablo Picasso 

ART is something artists make to feed their souls. I've been painting for a while now and I've always loved painting. I've always loved experimenting and trying out new art supplies and new watercolor techniques. I've always loved holding that paint brush in my hand,dipping it into water then finally,into the color of my choice. painting brings me joy. painting brings me happiness.

I've always considered painting as a heavenly thing.It just feels heavenly to paint what you love,to paint what you like and to paint something that makes you feel you're an artist. 

Being an artist means waking up everyday to create something new, to try out something you've never tried before. To experiment and to set goals. 

Being an artist means feeding your soul with paintings, sketches and illustrations. satisfying your hunger for art. 

Art has no rules. you can paint what you want. You can paint whenever you want. you can create things you wish existed. 

Artists speak through their  paintings, every painting has a story behind it. you don't need a journal or personal diary when you're an artist. your paintings are just another way you can keep a diary. Every painting has a tiny bit of the artist in it. Every painting has something to tell about the artist.

To be an artist is to believe in yourself. To believe you're an artist, to believe you can paint and sketch like an artist does, to believe whatever you're painting or sketching is gonna turn out amazing. 

I consider art as my passion, my hobby, like just my everything, and I'm glad I do. I'm happy to be alive as long as I can paint. Art simply makes me feel better. life becomes more beautiful when you can create, paint, sketch and inspire.
