For anyone who has struggled with coming up with ideas or translating those ideas into reality, I hope to provide you with new energy and inspiration as well as helpful tips for painting with acrylics. In this video, I take you through my creative process for a recent painting inspired by my observations of a hardworking nursing staff at a local children's hospital. I was inspired by their tireless efforts to provide exceptional care for their young patients. One night, I noticed a butterfly-themed elevator that sparked my imagination, and I envisioned a scene of butterflies carrying or visiting pearls in the sky. These two subjects, pearls and butterflies, became a representation of the relationship and interaction between the nurses and patients.
Join me as share how I brought this idea to life through with the goal of providing insights that can be applied to your own creative pursuits. Ultimately, this painting became a small token of my appreciation for the amazing care the nursing staff provided to my family. Come along on this journey of creativity and let's explore the process together!
