Can you commit at the outset to approaching your preparation and practice with the same zeal that you plan to show on game day? Can you study great painters, and then bring that information to the field when you mix paint and examine color relationships? If you can do those things, when you approach the canvas or the blank piece of paper to create a final work, you will be filled with strong, confident purpose. You will be able to play, paint, or write at the highest level because you have built your creative life on a strong foundation.
