5 inspiring artists if you want to start intuitive painting

Painting realistic

Many artists start to paint realistic, as that is the most obvious thing to do. You search for a nice picture on the internet, in a book or perhaps in a magazine. You may try to paint a spot in your garden. That is how I started painting. Read more about how I started here.

But quite soon I wanted to stop painting from pictures, it didn't feel like what I was supposed to paint. I wanted to paint without an example and not copying things. I didn't want to paint realistic anymore. I wanted to paint what I felt, to paint from inside is how I use to call it.
​But how do you stop painting realistic and do you start painting from inside,  intuitively?

How I found intuitive painting and MY STYLE

watching an artvideo on Youtube

​​I have been reading so much, looking at so many Youtube video's from other artists, trying so many exercises from other artists and I did many challenges on Instagram.
All helped me to finally find my way in intuitive painting.

I say finally because it is something that comes with a lot of practice. By doing the work you develop a way of painting that becomes yours. But it takes time.

​You often read that you have to make at least 100 paintings before your "signature" starts to show through. I can tell you I did, I made many hundreds of paintings.
And for me starting to learn how to paint intuitively was something that went hand in hand with finding my "signature" or call it my style. 


5 inspiring artists

There are many more inspiring artists, but I listed 5 here below.
​They were a big inspiration for me when I started intuitive painting.  Look them up, watch their free video's or take one of their courses, they all have so much knowledge to share.
​

My 5 inspirations

1. Flora Bowley
In my opinion the nr 1 Queen of intuitive painting. Check her website, it is full of inspiration! Flora has also a lot of great Youtube video's where you can learn a lot.

2.Pat Butynski
My favorite teacher for Abstract painting. Pat's courses "Path to Abstraction" are so full of tips, information, knowledge and so real, so lovely down to earth.
I just love her!

3.Mati Rose
I was so lucky to win Mati's and Faith's online course Abstract Bliss when I was trying to find out how to paint intuitively. It is a very inspiring course!

4.Faith Evans-Sills
Abstract Bliss, the e-course from Faith and Mati has been a game changer for me on my journey to find my way of intuitive painting. Warm recommended!

5.Tracy Verdugo
If you look at Tracy's paintings you will know why she inspires me. The colours she uses, so bold, so free! You want to follow her free mini courses, very inspiring. Look at her website and sign up!

Sidenote:
I choose these artists because they were my biggest inspirations, but there is an endless list of other artists that inspired me. Which artist will inspire you depends all on what kind of art you are drawn to and what you feel you want to create. Explore, search and ask others, so that you will find who inspires you!

​Leave me a comment with your inspirations, I would love to hear about them!
​

Investing in your art and you

All of the artists on my list have many free resources on their websites, IGTV video's and there are many Youtube video's from them to watch as well.
In my beginning period I didn't yet wanted to invest in my own art education and I learned a lot by watching all the free stuff.

But when I became more serious in making art I started to buy courses. I had experienced the quality of a paid course by winning "Abstract Bliss" from Mati Rose and Faith Evans-Sills. If you can afford to buy courses I can recommend you doing that. Many of the courses have a long or even lifetime access. They are packed with information and video's and you will really learn loads. There is simply more detailed information in a paid course, you will definitely notice the difference!
​And...you are worth that!
