This is the difference between a professional artist and an amateur. Dedication makes the professional.

Wanna feel good? Saw "Queen of Katwe," last night. Talk about looking forward, not giving up and never letting your apparent, outside, dictate the value and quality of your inside. Under incredible circumstances each put one foot in front of the other, doing what they loved, paying scant attention to all the obvious messages of inadequacy. They did it all simply for the joy of doing it, because it was theirs to do...... surmounting all obstacles to do so.....The result, for me, was Instant gratitude for all that is available to help me be me and a commitment to making it count. Yes, I am taking a class beginning today.

Judith A Rowland, good for you! I have not seen the movie you referenced, but it sounds intriguing. Never have we had more distractions that keep us from realizing and fulfilling our purpose. I am thankful everyday that I have found mine and that I am able to live it completely.

Hi David. I like the way you present and declare your way of working and your way of beeing an artist. Very inpirational.

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

dirk schwaertz thank you - and thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@edwardskinner651]

Agree 100%. People who are not creators won't probably understand this.

Ahhhh, I needed this!! What a great video, thank you!!! I'm new to watercolor painting and am so hard on myself when it comes to painting and inspiration that I end up never painting anything!!! This was great advice!

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

Jessica, thanks for watching and thanks for your comment! Don't wait for inspiration, you just have to paint. There is nothing to be afraid of, just give yourself permission to play and have fun!

[@maricamoseley191]

This is so good, and I'll be watching it time and again! Thanks for the Chuck Close share, too!

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

You are welcome Marica - thank you for watching!

Thanks for your latest video blast. I am heading down to the studio now and work on some color combinations on 12 X 12 watercolor paper. I learned so much from your class in Door County. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

Hi Chris - so good to hear from you! Remember to stay loose and you'll do great! Thanks for your support!

[@riteasrain]

Good points, so true. Still a very inspirational video though 😊 Thanks David! I think the studio is a secure place to return to each day, I love mine, like "muscle memory", excuse the cliche.

[@davidkessler3069]

Thanks Riteasrain! I like your thought of the studio as a secure place to go everyday. I believe that is a great way to think of it!

[@riteasrain]

Thank you :)

Thanks a lot for making this video! It was perfect timing today for me to hear this advice. I don't have much self-discipline so this helped a lot. I love your style of painting too. I just subscribed a few weeks ago and really like your videos.

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

Pam, thanks so much - I appreciate your input! Thanks also for subscribing. I'm glad I can help!
