Motivational Tip
Patience is lacking these days in young artist, patience is the key to success. We work for days contentiously, that time we work for ourselves and also selling is very difficult. I just want to say work with dedication and practice. I think young artists have more exposure and even they are more educated so work hard but it should be focused. For me, Art is a prayer not a business.
