Researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did a study involving two hundred artists eighteen years after they left art school. He found it was those who in their student days savored the sheer joy of painting that became serious painters. Those drawn to art school in hopes of wealth of game drifted away to other professions. "Painters must want to paint above all else. If the artist in front of the canvas begins to wonder how much he will sell it for, or what the critics will think of it, he won't be able to pursue original avenues. Creative achievements depend on singe-minded immersion."
