Creative Inspiration for Painters
As a painter, our best work is done when we are inspired. But how do we get that inspiration? Here are some of the ways to gain inspiration. I Hope this guide helps you to get over any creative block or be even more inspired!
- Observe the world. I love the water and also big cities. So I can get inspiration by visiting a new vacation spot or city. Where are some of your favorite places to be? Using photos you've taken (or other's have given you permission to paint from) create your own happy place..chances are it's someone else's too.
- Hobbies. What do you like to do? Sailing, Golfing, Animals etc can be great inspiration.
- What are others creating and how can you make their style fit for you? Go to museums, galleries and visit art websites.
- Movies and Books. What are your favorites and if you were asked to design for a set or cover what would you paint?
- Meditate or think on it. This may sound corny but sometimes just sitting and thinking about your creative dream can bring wonderful new ideas.
- Just do it! Sometimes the simple act of putting a brush to paper can inspire you.
Here is a sample of a painting I did based on a picture I took while traveling in Prince Fredrick, MD
