Good quality for an artist

EYE

Think of what helps someone judge proportions or colors accurately—it’s not just about seeing, but perceiving with precision.

The clue plays on the double meaning of "eye." For an artist, having a "good eye" means a sharp sense of visual judgment—spotting details, colors, or proportions well. But the answer is also the literal word "eye," the body part, making it a clever twist where the quality itself is the solution. It’s a simple pun where the phrase hints at both the skill and the word.
