Hard work isn't enough
Time alone is not the key, however, time well spent is. Working hard is certainly a major component of getting better but being well directed is equally important. Sargent spent years under the wing of Carlos Duran, learning how to paint. Doing something wrong over and over only makes you more proficient at doing something wrong.
Why bother going to a workshop anyway, except for the guidance? When people take workshops they are looking primarily for direction. Otherwise, they can just stay at home, hire a model, paint like the Dickens and save themselves some bucks.
