“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” -Andy Warhol
Many people know I don't typically do landscape paintings. My bread and butter is portraits, but every now and again, I (or my students) decide I need to shake things up a little bit.
LIVE classes are usually where these shake ups happen, or where they get shared. It helps to be in the spur of the moment and adds to the challenge. How much can I really think like a painter? What can I take an image from and turn it into?
To add to the fun,...
...this particular painting was one where I had no prior knowledge of the subject. Students came into the LIVE session, decided they wanted me to paint a waterfall, and I had one hour to find a reference image and paint. All while being watched to show my process and technique.
This isn't to say you have to do the exact same thing in order to shake things up in your artwork, but you should take the time to reach outside of your comfort zone, or step out of it entirely. Do something different. Allow your creativity to have some fun. Shake things up.
I can almost 100% guarantee you'll be glad you did.
