Why this book exists

Good art starts
before the canvas.

Before a painting has a colour or a line, there is an act of attention. This book follows that act: how we notice, collect, practise, make decisions and slowly become the artist we are trying to be.

It is not a rulebook. It is a companion for building a more deliberate creative life.
