The 10,000-hour rule: She painted on stones for nearly a decade, and the stones seemed to have come to life

The law of 10,000 hours is particularly applicable in the field of art, and in the past few years, Xiao Dai has seen a slightly immature artist, and a series of immature works, which have become better and better under the insistence of artists.

Young artists have confirmed the existence of the 10,000-hour law with their own actions, and the 10,000-hour law is actually proposed by a writer in the "10,000-hour Genius Theory", which says that no matter who is engaged in any profession, as long as they pay more than 10,000 hours with their hearts, they can become experts in this field.

10,000 hours, in Xiao Dai's view, is just a vague number, and its real core lies in perseverance.

After a brief understanding of the 10,000-hour law, let's first take a look at the practitioners of this law. This practitioner is the artist that Xiao Dai wants to introduce to you today, she is from Japan called Nakata Akie, Nakata Akie is an artist who is good at painting on stones, engaged in stone painting for nearly 10 years, although the cumulative time of creating stone paintings is not counted, but Xiao Dai estimates that it has already exceeded 10,000 hours.

Around 2011, Nakata Begui began to paint a variety of animals on stone, accumulating a wealth of creative experience, and the animal stone paintings depicted by her were very agile as if they had life.

Xiao Dai also learned to paint on the stone, the threshold for painting on the stone is very low, there are some painting foundations can paint works that look good, the low threshold of stone painting does not mean that it is easy, but increases the difficulty of stone painting. Just like all of us can sing, it's very difficult to become a star by singing.

In fact, in this world, any difficulty will be defeated by persistence, and Nakata Akie and many other artists have broken through one difficulty after another with perseverance and eventually become the best in the field.

Nakata Akie does not pick at stones, for her, each stone has its own ideas, Nakata Akie encounters this stone, what to do is to understand the idea of this stone and describe it.

An ordinary stone, coupled with a watercolor pen and a box of acrylic paints, Nakata Akie can produce an animal that can be placed in her hand, and the defects of the stone are also fully utilized by her to derive a very imaginative work.

Next, let's take a look at Akie Nakata's latest stone paintings.
