Every time I post a new painting I will write here about what inspired it, (if there is anything because I have a lot of shower thoughts), and my experience making it- so stay tuned!

Lots of things inspire me, whether it's in nature or something on Pinterest I get inspired by everything. An example would be my "Castle in the Sky" watercolor painting. My family and I were on a drive and I love looking at all the nature zoom by. I took a picture of a cluster of clouds against the sunlight and that reminded me about the quote from Leonardo Da Vinci, little things like that inspire nearly all of my paintings because I'm hardly ever on planet earth.

Another example of a painting that did because I was inspired by it was the pink seashell painting in front of the ocean. I am a huge Disney nut, and one of my favorite Disney movies at the moment is Moana. One day my
mom and I were watching Moana and when we got to the end, (where Moana puts her seashell on top of the mountain instead of a rock), my mom paused and said this would make a really pretty painting. I agreed, and right away I decided to try and paint it. Of course it was difficult at first because I generally don't copy things especially off the internet, I like to make my paintings my own. So when I was finished painting the scene itself I thought the quote from the Pikar movie "Up" would look good on this scene. The quote would go with the general story of Moana as well. Of course my mom was hesitant but I was certain it would turn out great, and hey, I'm definitely proud of this one. Adventure is Out There |

This guy loves to doodle, but professionally. He's really creative and his videos are cool to watch because he mixes up a bunch of his ideas for a piece of art, and it ends up looking like the most bizarre thing you've ever seen but it still looks cool. He also does a ton of challenges.

Lena is realistic in many ways, and she loves to contemplate her paintings in her videos; making it a very peaceful atmosphere. She's an inspiration, her videos take you on a journey to another wonderful oil painting that never ceases to impress.

Erold is an animator and he's SO funny. I binge his story times when I'm feeling blue because his videos never fail to entertain me. He's been to art school and he makes hilarious animations about his experience there. A similar animation channel that's more well known is "TheOdd1sOut," and if you enjoy his content you'll laugh till you fall off your chair when you watch Erold.

Kate and Joey are a husband and wife who love to surprise people by giving their room a makeover! They've been to many popular YouTubers houses, and people in general who wanted a more organized and good looking space. The people tell Kate (the interior designer) what they want and they don't see that room again for the next 8 hours because it's a surprise. The "customers" get to do a creative DIY project with Kate too before they are kicked out, they love it, and it's fun to watch their reactions to the final result. Personally I would love to have my room redecorated by Mr. Kate!

PortraitPainter Pabst is another favorite realistic artist of mine. He makes 3D art with oil paints and other regular art supplies and he makes them look real! He does trick art, and 3D drawing/painting time-lapses. His optical illusions are a favorite of mine and his trick art is really convincing! He does portraits as well and he never ceases to amaze me.

Giovannie Licea is a realistic art channel who uploads time lapse drawings and paintings. He is mostly known for his realistic paintings and drawings and has created a living as a full time artist. He makes a lot of "realistic smoky lips" on his channel and it's absolutely insane how real they look! The eye painting that he did on his profile is already an example of what an amazing artist he is.

Howard Lee is another realistic artist that I love to watch. His videos are fun to watch because he takes ordinary objects, like a lizard, and draws a realistic version of it beside the real lizard. He puts in so much texture and detail that you can't even tell which lizard is the real one! He starts the video with the drawing and the real object, and a caption that asks "Which is real, Which is fake?" The viewer has to guess before he reveals the answer in the most dramatic way possible, then he makes a time-lapse of how he drew the object.
Illusions are awesome! |

Stefan loves to spray paint and is probably the best spray painter I've ever seen! This guy shows us the process of making his paintings and it's mind blowing because they look so real in the end. My favorites are when he paints with glow in the dark spray paint, his paintings are so magical and I love watching him do it.
