Why Artists See the World Differently
When people look at a skilled artist’s work, the assumption is that they are naturally gifted, that they have access to something others don't. That assumption feels justified because the difference in output can be extreme. However, it's also fundamentally wrong. Artists are not seeing a different world. They are seeing the same world with less interference. The difference isn't ability in the hand. It's organisation of perception. It's important to note that the gap between artist and non-artist isn't fixed. It's trainable.
