Anyone with kids knows the endless 'why' questions! 😅

I used to get frustrated when my son wouldn’t hold my hand crossing the road, but then I realised he didn’t understand why it was important. Once I explained, “It’s to keep you safe,” he held my hand right away. ☺️

This made me think about painting—tutorials show the "what" and "how," but skip the "why." Understanding the "why" is key to painting with confidence and creating amazing art.

That’s why I’m excited to unlock the "why" behind every brushstroke in my upcoming live class! 🎨💫

If you are reading this: What’s your "why" for painting?
Mine is that spreading colors across the canvas makes my heart sing. Share yours in the comments! 👇

well said! The same goes with teachers, although it can be challenging to explain to them the why. I find most young teachers now don't explain the why at all, and maybe they themselves don't understand the importance of why either. So they skip crucial explanation or step that build strong foundation in students to learn properly.

hehehe I WAS a children making always the question " Why...?" I think adults never gave me a convincent answer... I was too curious!! hihi ❤ Now its me who should answer the why. Why do I make art? Which is my "why"!? Painting is a must. I can't live without art! Without creativity mi life is grey, sad... and depressing me. Thats part of my why. The other part is people. I want people to feel better through my experiences... make them feel happy, make them a smile on their face!! 💚🌈😉💫🎵🍀🥰

I never stopped asking them. Answer the "why?" and you'll end up with an intelligent child, or you can just give them an Ipad to play angry zombie bird Laras on.

My son is only 3 months now and he has the flu! Why?
