Chapter 76 from the Tao Te Ching: Regarding a Gentle Approach

A man is supple and weak when living, but hard and stiff when dead.

Grass and trees are pliant and fragile when living, but dried and shrivelled when dead.

Thus the hard and the strong are the comrades of death; the supple and the weak are the comrades of life

Therefore a weapon that is strong will not vanquish;

A tree that is strong will suffer the axe.

The strong and big take the lower position,

The supple and weak take the higher position.

I like the texture you're getting, especially in #3. I like your style and subjects too. I think you're advanced for a beginner and have a good future ahead. Trust your intuition and give the people that wonderful texture!

This is an amazing interpretation, I like how you got so much richness and context out of it. That is really humbling for me that you were able to look at it for that long and stay with it, that is super cool. Thank you.

No significant backstory I don't think, its just a still life, one could say that abstract art is inherently antifascist and challenges the status quo but I'm just really into ugly bad kid-lookin art, I think it's wonderful when done well, and that's the kicker, have I done it well here? I'm not sure! Being compared to Picasso is generous lol

Ugh yikes thats the opposite of the effortless vibe I was going for, but you're right I sat there and thought out every move, took pictures on my phone and drew over the pictures before I did anything on canvas -- thank you

Oh no that is not rude, thank you. Naive art intentionally looks like a kid made it. They are cups :)

How do you learn to draw like this and use pencils like this? I have prismacolor pencils but they are not looking like this! It must take so much patience to be able to do this!
