How I stay creative between murals

Honestly there hasn’t been a lot of time between murals lately which I am so happy about. I would love to paint one each week in the future. Recently I’ve just been designing the murals, communicating with the client and visiting the sites. However, here are a few other ways I stay creative between murals:

1. I try and get my boys outside to paint with me. It’s extremely messy and half the time they end up painting in their diapers. It is so fun to explore painting with them and it can help you to go back to the basics. We are mixing colours and not giving a second thought to what we are painting. It is just fun.

2. About once a month I find a night that I finally have little alone time and I get to paint what I want in my studio. I use to paint on canvas but recently switched to plywood, adding texture paste.

3. I’m constantly following other artists on instagram and pinterest to get some inspiration and motivation.
