Hi. Im a begginer self taught artist and I have a question that has been bothering me for a while now, but i think i cannot really answer it myself.

Do you believe that a self taught(implying without a formal education) arist can achieve same level of skill as professional formal educated artists?

Sure, i know about great self taught artist like Van Gogh or Ekaterina Medvedeva
But when i take a look at artworks of some modern artists i have a feeling that i may not be able to draw on the same level eventually and that they have something that i wont be able to have.

I`d like to know your opinion!
