How Do Painters See the World Differently?

Painters don’t just see colors, they feel them. Imagine you're playing with building blocks, and each block is a color. A painter picks up these blocks and builds pictures that make people feel happy or sad, calm or wild. They learn to notice how light hits the side of a cup or how shadows can turn a simple room into something magical. Over time, they start seeing colors like a second language.
