Blogs on creativity
10 Blogs to Spark Your Creativity
Recently, I’ve talked quite a bit about connecting to our creative selves. (Yes, everyone is creative!)
One way to access our creativity, I believe, is through inspiration from other amazing minds.
In honor of that, I wanted to share 10 blogs that help me get creative (this is by no means an exhaustive list), find tons of right answers and most importantly, get super-excited about the world and all there is to see.
In no particular order, they are:
1. Scoutie Girl.
This blog features interesting independent craft and design work. As their about page states, “Simply put, Scoutie Girl is the blog with a penchant for the passionately handmade.” The posts are always a lovely surprise. Topics include creative living and mindful spending.
2. Susannah Conway
Susannah is a writer and photographer who writes about everything from healing from grief to creativity to unraveling the layers of ourselves. Her photographs capture the beauty in the bits and pieces of everyday life. She also teaches an online course called Unravelling, which I’m currently taking (love it!).
On her about page, Susannah writes: “The healing path is one that never ends and it’s my hope that by sharing what I’ve learned I can help others reconnect to their own true selves, using photography as the key to unlock the door.”
3. One paragraph at a time
Maya Stein is a poet and writer. I first discovered her poetry in Patti Digh’s book Creative Is A Verb. And instantly fell in love. Here’s just the first stanza from her poem “Don’t Forget to Write.” (Her poems “To See This Clearly” and “Reluctant Poet” are must-reads, too!)
“While you are piecing together the map of your life,
stepping as nimbly as you can out of the mulch
of your thoughts, the busy traffic of your heart
while you attempt grace and magic and the blessing of
your soft surrendered kiss, while you are fathoming the stretch
you will need for the wide and rocky jungle of your own happiness,
while you are hunkering down to a piece of the dark break
and the odd, welcome relief of hunger,
don’t forget to write.
”
4. 3191 Miles Apart
Stephanie and MAV, friends who live 3191 miles apart, post anything and everything on simple living and things that inspire them — and continue to inspire me.
They see their blog as more of an online magazine. You’ll find “pieces on food and drink, our homes and everyday lives, our neighborhoods and our travels.”
5. The Creative Mind
Douglas Eby writes about the psychology of creativity and creative expression here at Psych Central. Specifically, the blog explores the psychology behind “…how well or how freely people are able to express themselves creatively – both professional artists and anyone who wants to develop and express their creative abilities.”
You’ll find topics such as personal growth, depression, perfectionism and thinking. Plus, there are many interesting interviews.
6. Creative Thursday
Full-time artist Marisa created Creative Thursday because of her love of all things creative.
While working at a 9 to 5 job, she felt out of touch with her creativity. So she designated one day out of the week — Thursdays — for “fun and creativity!” The blog is now in its fifth year, and continues to be a great inspiration.
7. Pia Jane Bijkerk
A stylist, photographer and author, Pia, at her blog (house), shares recipes from her “kitchen,” books from her “library,” music from her “sound studio,” and the incredible beauty of places like Sydney, Amsterdam and Paris. Her photographs are breathtaking.
8. Creature Comforts
As blogger Ez writes on her about page, “This blog is all about celebrating the tiny details that make life so amazing and looking to find beauty in the unexpected.” Creature Comforts is exactly that, and a stunning, soothing and inspiring space.
9. Bakerella
This beautiful and fun blog provides a slew of sweet inspiration with photographs of delicious-looking and unique desserts.
Even if you don’t have any interest in baking, you’ll no doubt be wowed by Bakerella’s photos and inspired by the colors and shapes of her artful treats.
10. Mary Swenson: A scrapbook
Mary is a talented photographer and writer. Her blog posts are short but include elegant, colorful and gorgeous photos along with a few thoughts on her images, some of which, I think, read like little poems.

The problems of contemporary art and the place of the artist in it
The role of the artist in the modern world. Artists, curators, experts, critics and fashion columnists have broken so many spears on this topic that two or three African tribes would be enough for an active hunting season. However, focusing on the word "modern", many have stopped paying attention to the word "art".
What does it mean to "make art"? Tempt, open new boundaries and facets of perception of the world.
Art, as a concept, cannot be modern or not modern - it finds (or does not find) a response in the soul of a person, encourages him to take a different look at himself and the world, come to new solutions. Art is wider than time frames, tendencies, terms and trends. ( Read more...Collapse )

Parodies and new taboos in art.
author Elena Poletaeva
Probably no one thought, but in relation to art there are certain "taboos" that are very fun to break. Especially with the advent of digital painting, this has become much easier to do. I'm talking about parodies - a modification of the works of famous masters. Previously, a person who bought a painting for a fabulous sum did not even think of taking and painting on the portrait of his great-great-grandmother, for example, a mustache. If there were such desires, maybe the grandmother was harmful, but no hand was raised to take and spoil a work of art! And to take to draw a new picture with small amendments is a long time and not everyone will undertake it. Although, of course, the artists themselves, take the same Vrubel, from time to time painted new paintings on top of the old ones. But so we see the author, his right. A painting painted by a famous artist and exhibited in a museum cannot be modified. Restoration doesn't count.
The sculptures of Mechelangelo Buonarroti will also be carefully preserved until they crumble into dust. nine0037 ( The most interesting thing is ahead ... Collapse )
Does an artist need to develop intellectually?
David Letelier at work
I would just like to say without explanation - of course, it is necessary. Only in opposition to this can one object, “Who needs this?” If the artist is from God, and he already has everything at an incredible level of skill. For some artists, even the concept of anatomy on an intuitive level surpasses the knowledge of nerds who remember the Latin names of all human muscles. Perhaps the artist does not have to explain to anyone what he wanted to say with his creation. Let the public think, it is smarter. And if not smarter? nine0049 (Read more...Collapse)
Inspiration from nature and its embodiment in the artist's world.
Probably you have heard more than once from the artists themselves that nature is perfect and there is nothing better than nature itself? That it is impossible to draw a sunset as it really is in the refraction of rays and dynamics. More than once, plein air artists have encountered the fact that the painted image does not live up to that in the real world, or in the photo of a good photographer. The picture is different, it is the transfer of the artist's world through the prism of the perfection of nature. nine0059 (Read more...Collapse)

An ideal sketchbook, like an ideal lover
I believe that perfection is more important for a sketchbook than for a lover. An ideal person will soon get bored, but the tool you work with should contain everything in itself and be reliable. Therefore, I searched for a long time on the net and in stores for what I need, and came to the conclusion that there is no need.
And it won't! Because all sketchbooks are made of wood, and do not withstand reasonable price-quality-functionality requirements. Any sketchbook made according to the technology of the old masters will not be what I want. And I want a lot ...
Since I'm going to paint etudes in watercolor in the open air, I don't need a large tablet. I need a folding tablet, and so that the legs fold very compactly inside the structure and do not cling to others. And I also want it to be “Not like everyone else”, so that you can walk around the city with it, like with a stylish handbag on your shoulder. It should be light (flexible like a schoolboy in love) so that you can take it with you just in case.
Then it started ( See all...Collapse )
Сontemporary Art of Seoul
Seoul's contemporary art is flourishing.
Actually, only contemporary art is welcomed here, except for traditional painting (landscapes in ink in the East Asian manner). The youth is already bored, apparently. But going to exhibitions, where your consciousness is a little shifted, is always interesting. Therefore, there were many young people in the Seoul Museum of Art, walking in pairs and looking at flashing canvases, bright sculptures on the verge of pop art with a reference to the past. nine0084 (Read more...Collapse)
Mariel Onodera.
I decided to expand my blog with stories about women artists. I would like to start with a woman who lived and worked in my city - Vladivostok. It so happened that everyone knows about Eleanor Prey, read her letters and regularly pass by the house where she lived. But no one knows that Maria Onodera also loved the Primorye lands with all her heart and embodied her feelings in unique paintings.
her life outside of Russia, and in general there are very few mentions of this name. In response to the request "Onodera Mariel" - google gave me a kawaii porno from Japanese authorship. It's also funny, of course. But Mariel lived in a fantasy world of a different kind. nine0094 (Read more...Collapse)
The 45th Exhibition of Korea Watercolor Association 2015
It so happened that in June of this year I ended up in Seoul and quite unexpectedly came across a watercolor exhibition with friends. It turned out that this is not just an exhibition, but The 45th Exhibition of Korea Watercolor Association 2015. An exhibition of world significance! (Read more...Collapse)
Envy: black and white room.
This feeling is perhaps one of the most destructive phenomena of human psychology. Animals do not know how to envy because people are blissful and happy. They are glad that they can, and cats will never envy dogs that they can wag their tail so famously. With a human, it's the other way around. We are able to compare and analyze, and often our conclusions lead to the fact that the other's loaf is sweeter, and the wife is more beautiful. But the darkest corners begin when this feeling manifests itself in relation to abilities that are similar in a common field of activity. And if one writer is envious of another, then he will sit in the black room of envy until there is not a word left from his intrigues in the room of a more successful fellow. The world of artists in this regard is much more welcoming. Probably because they can draw and repaint this room white. Then envy is only a motivation for learning, striving to achieve the same technique. True, not everyone. I think a lot of paintings were cut up and stolen precisely because of black envy.
