Some days, inspiration finds me. A slant of morning light on an old building. A child's expression that disappears in a second but stays in my mind for weeks. A colour I notice in a shadow that I never would have thought to mix. Other days, I sit in front of a blank sheet and feel absolutely nothing. Both are normal. Both are part of the process. Here's what you'll find here: 💧 Behind-the-scenes looks at how I go from a reference photo to a finished painting 💧 Subjects and scenes that make me want to pick up a brush 💧 Colour palettes pulled from real life — a sunset, a market, a rainy street 💧 Conversations about the questions that live underneath the paint: why we create, what we're drawn to, what makes a painting feel alive And I want to hear from you too. Inspiration is contagious — something that moves you might unlock something for someone else here. To start us off: what made you want to paint? Tell me below 👇🏻 Ana
