Hey James, your blogs are amazing. I am a complete beginner with no drawing skills since I haven't cultivated them from a young age, but have a very deep connection with the artistic world, almost feel like a deep part of me resonates with it. At 22 years old (approaching 23) how would one begin his steps towards a painting journey (particularly juste milieu or Craig Mullins type of art) and strive towards a realization of work that can be admired in this endless overwhelming information age?
