“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child”

A famous quote by Pablo Picasso...

And he's right. Painting like a child is not as easy as it seems.

As adults, we have left behind the honest spontaneity characteristic of children. To get there, I believe, we need to discard everything everyone has taught us about the world, rules and even our own judgment. How can we clear our minds to get to that point were our conscious thought do not interfere with our child within... the one we have forgotten and replaced by our adult selves?

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” - Pablo Picasso
