For fine artists: do you produce better when in company of other working artists or do you prefer to work alone?
I have found my work to benefit from group painting and it keeps me focused. I love having a critic whose work I admire at arms length.
But still a lot of my best work comes in the wee hours of the morning when the world is asleep and I am alone.
Do you all find benefit from working together with other artists? Do you have any stories about paint-outs? (or sculpt outs)
What inspires you most to your art?
