 Successful artist, Failed artist"
 
What is the most important thing to learn for an artist to be successful?

In observing the triumphs and failures in my colleagues' work over the years (as well as my own), I've come to the realization that to thrive (and survive) an artist needs to be conscious of four vital areas of growth.

Many artists have the chops but live in abject poverty despite efforts to succeed. Other artists lack ability yet enjoy financial success. What's important in achieve success in painting?


2 New Tree stencils
You rarely see any good tree stencils, because they are so difficult to make. Since its impossible to capture that detail in one stencil, we've solved it by making a two-part stencil.

Our organic patterns are taken from real objects, and this tree perfectly mimics the random patterns found in nature. Both tree stencils available in two sizes. 


Do you keep missing out on this special Takumi deal?

If you've been waiting for the Takumi to return to stock, but are still unable to make a purchase, the reason is that many other people are waiting for this too. Most of our shipment is sold  before it arrives from Iwata, and the few remaining only last an hour, before someone snaps them up. 
Your best bet is to pre-purchase your Takumi before it even arrives, otherwise someone else will get to it first.
