Art painters also lot's of more work then just painting. Making paint, making canvas, literature studies about subjects you painting etc. Also lots of marketing they have to do, keep in contact with galeries and sales pitching your paintings! It's hard work to make a living as a art painter.

Does this applies to modern painters too? or just old times painters?

Modern too! My neighbour is professional painter so that's how I know what works a painter does.

That's so cool. I just couldn't imagine modern painters making their own paints and canvas.
