Painting as a skill only requires good hand-eye coordination. As an art, it requires a good eye for color, form, and most importantly, composition. I have the heart of a designer, and it's evident in the way I compose my paintings.
 
this oil painting mirrors the original photograph, such training strengthens my eye for detail and color my compositions tend to explore the visual beauty in everyday objects, magnifying small details almost to abstraction
