So for me, I think one of my missions is to demystify this idea of this genius artist. Right. And so what I would say is, first of all, you can learn almost anything that you really want to learn. So if there's a desire and an interest, that's number one, it's motivation. Right. And so, you know, then I would say, take a class, start doing some things, just doodle. Right. If you really want to learn, let's say how to draw, you know, a flower realistically. But what I would also say is that you can just sit down with three colors and doodle with paint on a piece of paper, like computer paper, and you will get the benefits of what art deliver. You know, like you will get the inspiration, the joy of just seeing like two different colors mix, like when blue and white mix together.
