I Have No Inspiration

   When I got to your age, I was very surprised ... In fact - at about 14-15 years old and I stopped "scratching", of course it did not happen suddenly. And I painted more than decently, even after 30 years I see that there was something in me (I keep my creations). And this is not just my opinion, I have had awards from competitions, I have participated in exhibitions. They asked me why I didn't continue to develop in this area - and I don't know - I just stopped. I have no impulse - it was obviously not my thing.

   That is why men of art are and will always be a weakness of women! You are 13 years old, and you speak more intelligently and neatly than half of the people on the site between the ages of 20 and 30! I can't help but be inspired, but I really couldn't help but praise you. Good job son!

   I also don't accept my job as a job because I do what I want and I rest when I don't feel like it. I recommend that you travel to see new places and meet new people, and then if you like painting, if not just start doing what you haven't had time for before.

   Much depends on what you like to paint. I love to paint landscapes and get inspired when I'm outside and looking at old buildings and nature and even taking pictures of what I like and sometimes painting on the spot. When I have no clear idea what to paint, I transfer the photos and take what I like the most or is closest to my idea. My phone is full of pictures of old, even abandoned buildings, nature, sunrises, sunsets and the like. : D Another way is by looking at paintings by other artists or photos in different parts of the world. Try to look at photos and works of what has inspired you so far. If that doesn't work, maybe it's time to change the themes you're painting, the style, or the technique. Experiment, draw things you haven't painted before, if necessary redraw something 1: 1, you can rediscover yourself into something completely new, not to mention how nice it is to be able to paint different things.

   From the author: the man of arts turns out to be the girl, because I'm female, I just had a little fun, as I "became" a boy here. : D So, gender doesn't matter, it matters that the very fact that I stop painting slowly (as happened with the first number) worries me a lot. I was proud of that desire. I imagined becoming a famous artist, proud of all my drawings in notebooks. People have always told me that my drawings look like a much bigger person. I don't want this desire to go away, but it comes from my pride, which wants me to be noticed by people. I haven't stopped painting, to be honest, I have a lot of ideas, but when I started to implement them ... I don't want to. I paint reluctantly and that's it. There are other areas in which I'm pretty good (scientific), but it seems like I'll miss painting.
