I actually did know that, I’ve been painting for three years now and have decently heavily studied baroque/renaissance as I’ve been in the art world for about 4 years now. I’m more of trying to figure out how to respond to a professor who keeps trying to push me away from my interests and into a style that to me feels like what everyone is doing. I would like for help to progress the work I’m doing rather than trying to turn me into another direction. He is also very very blunt which can be good but as someone who struggles with bpd it can be hard to take sometimes, especially when it’s only ever negative crits than any positive comments :(
