I've been listening to and watching a lot of videos by and about artists from various media and it seems that this philosophy is, fortunately, not exclusive to painting. Imagine how horribly dull our creative efforts would be if this wasn't the case. Personally, I'd love to take this approach but have neither the resources and guides on hand, nor a mountain to climb. So instead of ascending summits, I meander in nearby woods. :)I'm coming to the opinion that the best use of painting, and maybe the entire point of painting, is to ascend to a common summit of skill and understanding, and then to find your own path down.
