When “fearlessness” is applied to painting, it doesn’t mean “being afraid of nothing.” It means painting even when you’re afraid. That fear often comes from one’s ego—wanting something, yet being afraid it won’t turn out as expected.

无畏地画画，是愿意尝试，愿意创新，哪怕知道接下来的那一笔不在自己的想象空间里，哪怕可能画“坏”掉，也不要永远停在安全区。

Many ghost painters especially those in large production hubs, remain anonymous. Their work circulates globally, but their names never appear. When someone commissions a portrait, they usually believe the named artist is the one actually painting it — not outsourcing it, not merely supervising, not just adding final touches.
