How I Draw Inspiration From Other Creators, Without Copying Their Work

Hi all! Today’s video started out with me just wanting to try out the Arches rough watercolor paper with my diluted acrylic paints, to see how it would turn out. As I was looking at the colors, it reminded me of this art piece I had pinned for inspiration and I thought to myself, “why not show how I go about drawing inspiration from an existing piece without actually copying it?” And voilà! A new video idea came to be. I hope you enjoyed watching it and as always, I will see you next week! Stay creative my friends! XO, B.

Thank you so much Bettina, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and uniquely stunning abstract painting, and even though you had the inspiration from the other artist, you’ve made this absolutely your own, and it’s very very special too. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤❤ and adore this piece. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lyndaaasmaa8110]

Thank you for sharing your work Bettina, I love this piece. I'm a real novice as far as art is concerned. I am particularly drawn to Zentangle, Neurographic art, pen and watercolour and I like to experiment and combine some or all in my designs. You really inspire me ! ❤

Thank you for the wonderful video. Your choice of music does not complement the video it detract from it. your video deserves better music or no music.

That is brilliantly beautiful. I appreciate hearing your thought process as you make your choices. I'm not able to copy anybody else, and I am grateful for that, because it allows me to be me and take inspiration from others. You are so appreciated.
