On Some Artists of the Ashram [2]

It is true that Romen has an instinctive artistic sense but also he has spent much time in painting and given much attention to it, so he has progressed fast. He has also great self-confidence.

The artistic sense can be had by training – the capacity you have, but it has to be brought out more and more and disciplined by study and practice. By development you will get self-confidence.
