Tip 1: You need to find out what is on trend

There was one time I was in a doctor’s office trying to come up with a new design for Fall. I was on Pinterest looking up Fall paintings and designs to see what was on trend or popular. Pinterest is a great place to search for ‘on-trend’ designs. You can even create a board (private or not) to put all of your inspiration pins on.

Tip 2: Draw thumbnails

As you are looking through your inspiration pieces that you pinned or even just browsing Pinterest (or even google) start drawing thumbnails. For example, you find a couple of paintings of owls and you like the eyes from one, the feathers from another and maybe the colors from a third painting. Start drawing out those owls with the different elements from each image.

Tip 3: Combine your thumbnails to create original art

Grab a new sheet of paper or page in your journal and start combining all of the elements. Maybe you liked the placement of a tree in one painting and the background colors in another. Then draw out your owl, the eyes that you like, the feathers, where the owl is located in the picture. In the end you will have a completely new painting that is on trend and ready to go!
