**Good art always needs time**, usually a lot of time, and you cannot predict how much time it will need, **art cannot be made on schedule** or as a product. By definition creating true art is never a routine (though it requires well trained skills in routine tasks), it always invents something new, something no one has done before (otherwise it's just copying that doesn't need an artist) -- in this sense the effort is the same as that of research and science or exploring previously unwalked land, you can absolutely never know how long it will take you to invent something, what complications you will encounter or what you will find in an unknown land. You simply do it, fail many times, mostly find nothing, you repeat and repeat until you find the good thing. For this art also requires a lot of effort -- yes, there are cases of masterpieces that came to be very casually, but those are as rare as someone finding a treasure by accident. Art is to a great degree a matter of chance, trial and error, the artist himself doesn't understand his own creation when he makes it, he is only skilled at searching and spotting the good, but in the end he is just someone who invests a lot of time into searching, many times blindly.
Mastery of art comes with **transcending the tool** in the sense of no longer being focused on the tools as well as no longer being its [slave](tool_slave.md). An amateur is obsessed with his tools, he keep [hopping](hopping.md) editors, [languages](programming_language.md), distros, keyboards, headphones, drills, clothes, he says he can't work without his specific tools; a master comes and creates the art -- if he has no paintbrush, he does it with a pencil and if he doesn't have a pencil, he draws it in the sand. Master is only thinking about art and he can achieve it with most tools he can get his hands on. Chess master doesn't need a chessboard, football master can play barefoot, master climber doesn't need climbing equipment, master drummer can play with a stick he picks from the ground. This means a mastery of art is a form of [freedom](freedom.md).

**Art is discovered**, not made. The author of art is merely a discoverer of some beautiful pattern of nature, he may not even fully comprehend or understand that which he discovered, he must in no way be its owned or arbiter (as capitalism wants to make it with bullshit such as [copyright](copyright.md)). Author has no higher authority in interpretation of his art than anyone else.
