I've always had a fascination with the world underwater so I dived into the challenge to paint a mermaid with octopus and seahorse! I must confess, I was battling to be very creative over the last two years and I needed some good inspiration to find my flow back... The inspiration came from another artist by the name of Tamara Laporte (check out the website: https://www.willowing.org).
I experimented here with a lot of mediums such as acrylics, watercolour, crayon, pearl tint paints as well as Posca pens. Even though I get inspiration from others, I find that somewhere along the instruction process my attention goes into my own work and it all of a sudden starts to live a life of its own. (Which is actually a good thing!)
I've now framed the picture and it is hanging in my bedroom to remind me to delve deep inside of me and do the things I really want to do: Make lots of beautiful art and send happiness into the world!
May this year be a year full of inspiration, creative challenges and beautiful artworks!
Till next time,
Astrid
