Along those lines, I think it is true that a person's level of success can be measured by the number of failures he/she has amassed. You have to risk and you have to fail.
There is a thread in the "Oil" critique section labeled "The Lookout". I had never kept track of my time until I started on this painting. The following remarks I pulled from that thread:

If anyone is interested, people always ask me how long does it take you to do that? I never had a clue. I decided that on this painting I would keep track of my time. What you see above, and I can see 2-3 more hours to finish, I have spent 20.5 hours. Of that around 2 and 1/2 hours of sketching.
