What is the average artist, I as a synonym for mediocre comes to mind, perhaps? Do you have because there is no academic training, if I am not mistaken?
Here's your key phrase in this whole philosophy - I want to be like the average, but decent. A desire to become the best? He is not and never was, because as you take a sample of artists who are generally in the academic style does not work, but sold for big money.

This sample is not academic, and imitation of the old (before impressionism) school, forgery, bordering on kitsch, not because the artist mediocre, but because the world does not have one school, and he did not have anyone to learn the skill ....
