How will you get inspiration this holiday season for your paintings and drawings? My thoughts.
This holiday, how will you get inspiration for your art? For heaven's sake don't put it off! This time of year is the perfect creating enviroment. Don't believe me? Take a look at our latest article: Christmas Art http://paintingdrawing.suite101.com/article.cfm/christmas_art?CFID=16708838&CFTOKEN=98943311.
Here are a few sample ideas from the article:
Sit back and watch.
At the next get together, take your sketchbook, sit back in a quiet corner and observe for at least a moment. Sketch your nephew, the holiday feast, the Christmas tree, anything that captures your mood.
Record your mood.
Feeling stressed? Overjoyed? Sad? Grab your pen, pencil, or brush and use your feeling to create a painting or drawing. Don't over think the emotion. Don't try to be too photo realistic. Just create.
The best art can come from raw emotion. Sad that a loved one is missing this holiday? Create something to honor them. Really proud of your first Christmas with your new baby or one-and-only? Draw or paint the things that symbolize your feelings.
Happy Holidays!
