 Hey guys, how are you? So this month for art joy of sharing. We're supposed to start about how do you begin? How do you get started? Where do you how do you get inspiration? All of those things and yes, my desk is a bit messy. This is the clean spot. Anyway, so there's a lot of different ways I Get started with a project I am not actually a prompt girl. I know that's Pretty funny considering I do so many commitments yearly and swaps and collabs and stuff Having a prompt is actually challenging for me and I can't help myself. I'm straightening up while we're talking Having a prompt is actually more challenging for me than how I like to get inspired to do a project which is by An image like this one here, I think is going to be used all or in part on this page or some penny papers or Maybe it's just these little birds my favorite latest one is my color inspiration journal Which I've been working with and showing on Here on YouTube and over in social media, this has been my favorite thing so that's the main reason main way right now I'm getting inspiration and This is a lot of fun to know when we put together, but I've already been referring back to it And it's not even done yet. There's quite a few pages here in the back to work on paintings and journal pages so I Find that very inspiring if you don't have your own Set of reference material that you've done for yourself. Maybe you should think about doing that. I do have a video on Doing the color inspiration journal. I'll try to find it and link it in the description below It's a really good tool if you're someone like me that this sort of page layout you look at that And you're very inspired by the colors and or the textures and images in the Associated photos on the other side to create an art journal page or painting or other works if you're a visual Learner That might be something that you really Get inspired by and that really works for you. Maybe it's just a magazine image these are all ones I found interesting and inspiring when I was harvesting some magazines and Did I know where I was gonna go with them immediately? No, but she certainly would inspire a piece of artwork, so I definitely get inspired by things like this and That's the main way I get started is by a piece of inspiration again, sometimes it's just Birds or sometimes it's a paint chip Sometimes it's a piece of painting paper Sometimes it's the color inspiration journal. It's usually something like that. That's usually how I get started And once I have that then I start Collaging bits and pieces or let's see That's a piece of painting paper that I did but it's the same idea painting some colors on the background Here's one. This is just leftover paint that I would had from working on another project and Then when I was harvesting said magazines that came across this that is very inspiring to me So I usually get started that way and I do as you see I do a lot of pages sort of ahead where I have just stamped off some extra paint or collaged a bunch of random scraps that are just cluttering up the desk and then at some point I come across Something like this magazine image that'll help me finish that page So that's how I get started. I don't know about you, but that's how I get started. How do you get started? I would love to know do share.
