This is my latest video in the advice for artists theme.

People get a bit hung up about copying, but that’s how we all learn. The secret is to copy and learn as much as you can then, when you find out who you are and what you want to do, move forward and do your own thing using the vocabulary of lines and techniques you have learned from the masters. Don’t copy and claim that it’s your own work, as you will always be found out!!!
