Well... it's kind of a complicated medium, you know? I've studied it for years and I don't know if I'll ever really master it, because there's just so much to learn.
And because of the materials you use, you have to take it slow and really think about where the next stroke goes. You can't rush it or follow your gut like you can with some other styles of painting, or your materials could get damaged or the paint bleeds in a way you weren't planning for.
Then when you see a finished piece, you know there was a ton of thought and planning that went into it, and something really beautiful came out of that.
