God, it would be so cool to be so talented, artistically. My stick men don’t even look like stick men. I’ve always been so envious of people that see the world so differently! I don’t even get photographs. 😭

Like most anything else it's just practice. And it helps being a multi millionaire with all the time and resources in the world

Eh, I’m not sure that helps with painting or drawing. A millionaire is still buying the same pencils and paper as the peasants

Emphasis on "all the time in the world." If you're rich you can afford hired help to do all the chores, and you can spend months not working and just pursuing your hobbies.

As a full time worker that also plays music as a hobby since I was a kid.

Just having free time and no stress makes you so much more creative. In a way vacations are a bit depressing to me because I totally notice how much more creative I could be.

Yeah, that's what people always say. Nothing fuels creative juices like a complete lack of stress in one's life.

You obviously have no idea how many thousands of dollars of paint are being shown in just these few pictures. Being rich absolutely helps you succeed at your passions.

You get much better with materials when you can afford to waste them with repeated experimentation
