Inspiremethursday project:-
What’s your favorite source for inspiration? Do you feel you need to shake things up in your art? Are you in the mood to try a new technique, a new color palette, a new medium? What is your passion? What are your fears? What is your favorite thing about creating? Your least favorite? Why do you create? Why are you an artist? How do you describe your art? What are your goals? Your dreams?For the above challenge, I have posted this abstract in oil paint on paper, completed today. The source for inspiration was mostly 'meditating to music' as I painted. It was calm, soothing music and I think the colours used reflect this.
Its a slight departure for me in that I am using oil paints. (I felt a bit stuck in a rut with OPs.) Here, I challenged myself to use more 'greys' in my work, instead of mostly bright and saturated hues.
I enjoy the freedom of using mixes with oils to achieve a subtler and richer range of colour.
I don't want to copy nature in my art (although I continue to admire realistic work); I prefer to create from a more subjective stance. I hope to continue with oil paints for a while.
