Painting Ordinary Objects - Inspiration is in Your Home
A walk through an amateur art exhibition is an interesting excursion due to the wild range of subject matter. It is safe to assume artists never have visited the places they have interpreted nor have they ever seen some of the wild animals that they have pictured on canvas. Helen Van Wyk shows us in this video how common objects around the house can make paintings that are as thought-provoking as tropical islands. Her subjects range from wicker baskets and spools of thread to the stuffed toys of a pet...subjects you would not ordinarily choose to star in your paintings. This is a delightful, informative peek into what makes an artist tick
