Im having an art show in oct but i dont know what to paint!!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Coming up with the paintings isn't that hard. Start with some still life. Grab a silver tea set, set it on the table and start painting. This should start your juices flowing then other ideas will begin to come to you. Paint anything that you have in the house, but start with something. Take a camera and take some shots of whatever you find interesting and paint that. Just remember, 'beginning something is hard. Finishing it is harder' . Watch that you don't get tired and just want to finish a painting quickly, so you can start the next one. That brings mistakes, and you don't give your all to the painting.
Secondly you have to do those paintings very fast. Remember you have frame them all and have them ready for the show. Do watercolors, and acrylics, graphite, pastel and so forth. Those are quick. Do some oils if you want but you have to remember that oils don't dry that fast. Take into account the drying.
Everything should be done at least a few days before the show, because there is alot to do before the show. Shipping the paintings, setting things up and so forth. Be there through the whole thing.
Hope to see your paintings posted on the net soon. Have fun!
