There are some creative content makers/ teachers who really hit the spot. That's mostly bc I love the way they talk about the underlying structures and concepts of artistic ideas rather than shallower techniques (which I'm not trying to knock).
I don't even paint but I love Ian Roberts videos bc he helps give me the creative spark I need to write. The same goes for Ted Forbes older videos. Or a few masterclass videos I've seen.
I like to learn the way different people like to think about art. I love this channel and hope you like it too.

kairosclerosis n. the moment you look around and realize that you’re currently happy—consciously trying to savor the feeling—which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart, and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it’s little more than an aftertaste.
