Discovering the Power of how One Painting can Fuel Creative Expression  

Painting a single painting with a certain view, or in portrait form can generate a plethora of variations of the same picture. This is especially useful if you are creatively stuck with ideas. If you feel lacking in creativity then a single reference photograph can be useful.   It can be about appreciating that one image may produce several images if its creative potential is imagined. 

One painting can create many paintings. It is highly likely that working on a single composition can serve as a compelling, inspired springboard for an entire collection of artworks. By expanding upon this foundational composition, artists have the opportunity to delve deeper into their artistic narrative.

The joy of presenting audiences with a rich tapestry of interconnected masterpieces, generates a plethora of variations that showcase the boundless potential of artistic expression. Think of one painting, not merely as a standalone piece, but as a rich wellspring of inspiration; it can ignite countless creative ideas and interpretations. Just as a seed can grow into an expansive tree with numerous branches, so too can one artwork inspire a diverse array of pieces that resonate with similar concepts or aesthetics.

Whilst painting the same painting across three different canvasses that vary in size. The variables of the colours, layout and the people within the view will create three different paintings. Despite each of the pictures being similar, they will all turn out differently. This allows the artist to explore different mediums, styles, or techniques inspired by the initial creation.

In Summary; 

  1. One painting can create a positive ripple. It can generate several different paintings that are similar, but look completely different.

The positive ripple can be apparent, especially if there is a narrative or poetic meaning behind the painting. Some people explore concept as well. Furthermore the positive emotional and communicative effect maybe apparent if the painting portrays something meaningful or spiritual.

2. Creating repeat pattern from an aspect of the original artwork may generate a new piece.

Art repetition and creating visual variations can be joyful. This allows artistic interpretation of the original piece. Some aspects of repeat pattern may occur so that a different, new painting is produced by repeating the patterns within the painting.

Case Studies: Iconic Artists Who Explored Repetition and Variation

Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol’s repeated images; Roy Lichtenstein’s comic styles; Claude Monet’s series paintings;

3. One painting may vary in its layout, colours, people, or view.

Differing the colours may transform the visual affects of the original piece to create something new. You may like to revisit the colour wheel and colour theory. Consider the emotional impact of colours. You can also restrict the amount of colours used. For example, a palette of three colours, red, blue and yellow maybe the only colours used in the painting.

An artist may choose to use this initial work as their muse, exploring different colour palettes, altering perspectives, or even experimenting with various mediums to breathe new life into the concept.

4. A single painting maybe abstracted so that parts of it may be enlarged, minimised or repeated.

Art is not just about replication but also about innovation and personal expression. Each variation becomes more than just another version; it evolves into its own distinct narrative while still paying homage to its predecessor. This idea powerfully underscores the profound beauty of creativity, how a single painting can serve as a monumental source of inspiration. It may ignite an entire series that intricately reflects the artist’s journey and personal growth over time. 

5. Changing the way its painted too. Aerial, panoramic, or even flipping the perspective in which the composition has been created are ways of varying the painting.

Thus, one painting can become not just an isolated work but rather a cornerstone upon which an entire body of work is built, a testament to both artistic expression and human experience. Ultimately, using one painting as a foundation allows for an expansive exploration of themes and ideas, demonstrating that art is both a dialogue with oneself and with viewers who interpret these works through their unique lenses.

6. You may also like to alter the style and have a small collection of the same layout with differing styles, or differing mediums.

Simplification of Mindfulness

Having practised breathe with movement for over a decade, these are a few personal insights into practising Mindfulness. Another way of terming Mindfulness is Awareness of Breathing. When this was explained to me a while ago the whole idea of “Mindfulness” made much more sense to me. Whilst Mindfulness is not something I particularly enjoy, it is something that maintains my wellbeing.

Some of my main hindrance have been the thoughts;

“I cant Meditate.”

Sleepiness and Distraction

There are lots of other hindrances, but the intention of this article is not to discuss the barriers to mindfulness. There are other articles for this. The intention is to give insight into having explored mindfulness at length and some of the exercises that felt accessible and achievable.

Mindfulness or awareness of breathing can be undertaken while practising creative pursuits. Bringing awareness to the breathing rather than the mind chatter

Here are a couple of Mindfulness exercises that may be helpful to those people who find mindfulness difficult:

  • Breathing in and counting to 10 then exhaling
  • Mantra: My breath is my anchor, my anchor is my breath
  • Mindfulness with Mudra when you can’t concentrate eg sa, ta, na, ma
  • Be the witness, or observer of yourself
  • Guided meditations eg apps, CDs
  • Accept the flaws when your mind is like a flapping fish and bring kindness to your flaws rather than listening to your “Inner Critic”
  • Diarying for mindfulness
  • Gardening
  • Nature walks
  • Walking for mindfulness
  • Vase on the top of your head visualisation. The idea is that you need to be so mindful that the water does not spill out of the vase
