4. Even masters make errors, the errors just get smaller and less perceptible.

5. The viewer’s eye always goes to the point of highest contrast.

6. Take hand breaks. Even if you’re really into it.

7. There is no “magic bullet” for getting better. It all comes down to doing the work-- Putting in hours of deliberate practice.
