When I initially started to explore paintings I didn't knew what I was looking at and that it can quite significantly affect my work. One of the biggest mistake that anyone can do is to imitate someone else because you go tied of that in a short time and you get lost and out of track.
Formal training of drawing is essential and exploration helps to understand the role of art in society and our human life but to what extent the influence is a necessity that needs to be asked.
Over the years I have gradually learned its more of a journey inside than outside it's more than just mere momentary attraction. Back in India, I have seen people repeating the same things without any exploration but there is a lot to explore. It's a huge country with different religions and customs but most of the artists close the windows and paint and copy just what is around them. The works become extremely repetitive and boring.
