I bought paint and a brush after I saw a Rembrand. Didn't work out.

Everything in life takes practice to be good at it. Both rembrandt and potter failed at their first attempts.

That's true Parker everyone fails. But if the level of difficulty is way to high, you won't get much out of it. I learned that myself.

But its untransplantable - the roots are probably meters long among the rocks.

Your devil is wrong.
Don't try to remove it. You will kill it.

Or maybe I do have to explain it.
I have seen Graham Potter videos, of course. And many others, that turn seemingly uninteresting trees into amazing bonsai.
However, this requires years of preparation and great skill. If you gave me one of these trees... I wouldn't be able to do it.
While these videos are interesting"
I also decided not to skip a single tree that has any of these after seeing Graham Potter making nice bonsais from what looked like broomsticks.
Do not expect you'll be able to do the same. You won't be able to make nice bonsai out of broomsticks. Again, that goes for me too - I couldn't do it.
It doesn't just require practice. It requires time, talent, skills. And patience.
