as and artist, if (plus i didn't start young) i spend more time working on my painting would that make me a better painter or just better with technique? if i am better with technique does that allow my mind to freely go to that place where the creative process resides? how does one become more creative? maybe there will be answers for these types of questions in the future. maybe some of you have some opinions.
P.S. the Third Encaustic Conference is this weekend. congrats to all who made it possible-especially Joanne-and i hope to see you all next year.

This is an interesting question you've posed. I do think that the more work you make the better artist you become, but it isn't about just throwing stuff out there fast and without consideration. With every work that you successfully resolve, you learn something. Not to mention improving your technique. Technique can be underrated at times, but the better your technique the more vast your vocabulary and the more poetically and effectively you can convey your ideas. That's the way I see it, anyway (as someone who started art-making later in life and doesn't get to spend anywhere near as much time working on my art as I would like.)
