An artist's life is hard. Living paycheck-to-paycheck would be a luxury. What little money you earn is invested right back into paint and other supplies, without which there's no way to follow your dream and become a great Master. You don't relish the idea of having to work at a desk, in front a computer, toiling away for some faceless corporate overlord.
