I never treat making artwork as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153duty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. This is why the notion of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153forcing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d yourself to make artwork seems so vulgar to me. <strong>Any artwork that you make which isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t spontaneous and fun for yourself isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worth it<\/strong> (and probably won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t last). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imitate art which you love <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m actually getting more inspiration from painters than photographers as of late. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been loving the work of Cezanne and Piet Mondrian. I use Procreate for the iPhone\/iPad to sketch\/trace\/re-interpret their art works, to help me practice my composition and to better learn\/appreciate their art works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to discover inspiration <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For myself it seems the best way to discover inspiration is to consume  the artworks of artists you admire from the past. And don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry whether an artist is considered \u00e2\u20ac\u0153legit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or not. Cultivate your own tastes. If you like the artist and their artwork, it is good. If you find their art works boring, just ignore them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been cultivating my taste for a long time, and as of late \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I am really into abstract artwork (cubism, Impressionism, De Stijl of Piet Mondrian and the other Dutch painters, futurism, suprematism). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
