He is absorbed, patient and getting better with every stroke. The card honors steady practice and asks you to give your full attention to the work in front of you.
Upright meaning
Steady practice and careful work; mastery is built one detail at a time.

Perfectionism, boredom with repetition or cutting corners on the work.
