Hi Enzie,
One important point concerning "speed" is related to style. The way you paint makes if faster or slower.
Two great guys to mention: Morgan Weistling and Tony Ryder, the first one is a fast painter, and the second one is a contemplative painter. Both produce hight quality and beautiful works, but in very different ways.
I work part-time, but one holiday I stayed in front of my easel for about 15 hours, and once (but only once) I worked for 3 days without sleeping, but I usually like to paint for 4 or 5 hours and take a rest (painting another thing, of course) and than come back the next day, so I can see how the work is going with "fresh eyes".
Every person is different, I wish I could paint full time. I have one friend who paints 14 hours everyday since he was 19, today he is 74, so you can figure how much work he has produced so far.
The love of Art is what makes me pick up the pace everyday. As I said before, I wish I could paint full time.
C. Ya.
