Hello can someone explain what the different between art study and practice. Guy in another said most of what I do is practice and not studies so I asked how to study and he left me hanging. And sometimes I feel like I am not progressing at all. I could spend hours or days and yet I still feel I haven't progressed a bit.

The difference is the goal and approach. With practice the goal is fluency and confidence, with the approach being repetition so it feels natural.

Meanwhile art studies the goal is to learn something new and have a deep understanding. With the approach being intentional, analytical, and slow. Youre looking for patterns. Youre breaking stuff down.

Practice vs art studies are like flash cards vs research. Different goals, and different approaches. They can both be used. But they also need to be used properly or else it doesnt accomplish anything
