If you wanted to build more muscle mass, you'd join a gym and start lifting weights. Can you imagine going your first day and walking out looking like Mr. America? Of course not! You'd realize that muscles are build one workout session at a time, over a period of time.
The same is true with becoming a good artist. It takes time to train your eye to see what you're truly looking at and to develop skills to use your imagination. It takes practice and the acceptance of difficult challenges. Nobody goes to the gym for their first session and walks out in prime condition and nobody sits down at an easel for the first time and paints a masterpiece!
Van Gogh became proficient at drawing before he began painting. Over the course of his short life, he completed over a thousand renderings! No wonder he said that great things are done by a series of small things brought together!
