Hi I loveshopping

Sorry if it sounds trite but, “just do it”. Just  Paint, paint with out making self judgments. Experiment, take classes, be bold.

If painting was like shopping what would it look like?

I couldn’t agree more with, “….Inspiration is key.”

I got into painting as a mental health tool. I never knew I could really paint. Three years later, I have some serious fun with it. I had to find what my passion was though. 🙂 Just keep at it. Find what inspires you.

This is a fine piece of talent you have. Have you ever considered to storyboard a large canvas? Believe me or not, with the level of creativity I’m looking at, you need to expose yourself to having a canvas size that’s larger than a one piece filler. Also, delimit your color palette. Size of the canvas is a limiter in many ways, it reminds you of limitations. Break them and try finding out what you can do instead of planning for what you should get done. #wondersawaiting

As a surrealist, teacher, writer, ceramist, illustrator, drawer, exhibiting artist and …..whatever else…. I can only say. …. Keep practicing it, just do it, and do it again.   I can’t remember the actual point where I became an artist.  Oh yes i can, when i picked up a brush…    But when was it that i actually allowed myself to call myself an artist?  That didn’t come for about 20 years later  I was self taught. Became a teacher of ceramics, then fine art. THEN went to university to ‘find out what i wanted to be when i grew up’ that’s when i gave up thinking I was ”missing“ something, and gave up University half way through.

Just…..

Keep doing it

Keep loving it

Blessings, Sal

It’s interesting data.

What kind of art do you like? Portraits? Landscapes? Abstract? You can find lots of videos on YouTube that will teach you some techniques. I suggest you do that. Or you might be able to take a class in your community. There are some things you really need to learn before you just jump in. Like layering; most paintings consist of layers of colors. Like: planning your composition. So – search and learn and then begin!
