What would life look like? What would would you change? What leap would you take? ...and the biggest question of all: what is YOUR definition of success? Yup, big questions for a Saturday. 🤯 Don't try to process them all at once, just stay curious. ✌️ Tell us, what would you be doing if you couldn't fail?

Abstract art is an ‘if you know, you know’ thing, right? Wrong! ❌ We believe in sharing knowledge and so do our artists. Have you ever looked at canvas and thought ‘I wish I knew how to do that’ but nobody’s been there to show you how? Or worse, they say ‘I just kind of did it, I’m not sure how...’ 🙄 In her Layering and Expressive Abstracts courses, @kasiakrecicka breaks down her process and shares all the tips and tools you need to create a finished painting you’re proud of. Yes, beginners, even you. 👀 Link in bio to start your abstract journey.

Want to stir emotions in your art? You need to stir your own first. You know that feeling when you look at abstract art and feel instantly uplifted, angry or moved in some way? That means it’s doing its job: it’s making you feel something, which is basically the intention of all art, right? Being an artist involves working in a mental space – with your inner thoughts, expressions, and perspectives – as well a physical space, like in a studio, living room, or on the beach. The physical space needs to foster your self-expression – it’s crucial for letting creativity flow! 🌊 What’s your favorite environment for creating art? 🏘️ 🏖️🏡

Goblin mode check: are you still in your PJs at 3pm these days? No judgment – we love a bit of shameless festering as much as the next creative – but it’s time to harness some ✨July Energy✨ by getting up and out. It’s time to nourish yourself with things that make you feel good... 🌳 Step outside (earlier the better) 🚶 Get moving (dancing counts) 🍑 Eat all the fruits (seasonal, always) 🎨 Pull out all the palettes (and paint outside) ☀️ Get your vitamin D quota up (SPF though, naturally 🧴) Make the most of these warmer climes – your creativity and wellbeing will thank you later. July plans? Let us know

Do you overlook the value of your own independence? That stuff is p-o-w-e-r-f-u-l. If you could bottle it and sell it in art stores, it would be the limited edition stuff no-one can afford. It's that good. 🔥 Art is an expression of the individual, unique by default. It's an opportunity to express your truth – and you can't argue with the truth. What are you creating today? Whatever it is, call it art – because it's true and it's yours, independently.

File under: holiday season color combos that have a whole summer vibe of their own. ❤️‍🔥 Seriously though, red and green might be an unlikely combo for July but we are gazing as nature’s red and green goodness and gathering so many ideas for new abstract paintings and summer experiments. 🍓🍃🌹🍵🍒 Hot tip: take some snaps while you’re out walking and bring colorful leaves home to use for reference. When you start painting, you’ll have some natural inspo to use as a palette guide. Want to know how to translate your outer world into art? Let our artists, including @celialeesart, show you how.

People might say you spend too much money on tubes of paint or too much time daydreaming but they don’t know what’s going on in your inner world. Every detail, every choice, every creative act is part of a bigger painting, a wider landscape in your life. 🖼️ ✨ Keep on doing your thing. 💧 Keep on watering your mind with inspiration. 🩷 Keep up your daily practice of creation. What story are you telling today? Find your new course to start painting it, pronto.

Creativity is an act of rebellion. It invites us to rip up the rule book and seek out the inspiration that surrounds us. That’s where the water is – and a garden of creativity sure needs that to grow. 🌱 How are you feeding your creativity today? We’re painting abstract art, obvs. 🧑‍🎨
