I know, as parents we are all the same. The kid picks up a brush, paints a few strokes on a torn piece of paper and to the parents they're the next Picasso.
But seriously... watching my 3-year old paint is mesmerising. And I get completely lost watching her play with colours - even though it's only the cheapest brushes and paint from the supermarket.
To be honest - the result is no masterpiece. I consider myself a better artist than her - I stay within the lines when I colour, I use the colours of the same family together, I use proper geometrical shapes and like to keep a good composition and symmetry and I never press too hard with my pencil so it doesn't break or put a hole in the paper, I never randomly mix colours to see what happens and I don't get dirty while painting.
Really? :) Is that what makes great art?
I started learning from my daughter. Just watching her creativity, unladen with rules and confinements of our adult minds is so inspiring.

Don't be afraid to ignore the rules. Get out of your comfort zone. Mix and try.. if you don't like it, slab another layer of paint on top. Or just take another piece of paper and start again. There is no limit to your imagination. Let kids inspire you, they are masters of exploring life and discovering
something new each moment.
something new each moment.
I decided to start using her paintings and turn them into joined artwork. I love it! ❤️
And the other day she surprised me with a creation of her own. Just perfect...
