Whilst making some CG art in autumn 2021, I began to feel that my visual skills had hit a wall! I strongly related to the idea that your taste can outgrow your ability.
Doing more CG and digital painting projects would have helped, but I feel a lot happier when I spend less time using software...

A few months later, I learned about the traditional 'atelier' style of fine art study.
It long predates modern art schools, and focuses on technical skills and producing realistic representations from life. This appeals to me, especially as it involves plenty of tactile and intrinsically aesthetic mediums.
A stick of charcoal has the lowest input latency out there!
