@Zahra In my case it wasn't that there wasn't encouragement, I just had no direction or guidance as far as what I could do with art or how to make a living with it. On the bright side I've just recently started painting in a whole new direction than I have before and I'm currently tossing around ideas of how to go about making it into something I can bring to the public and grow. Fingers are crossed. 😊🤞
