How do you find and harness inspiration? In this video I share with you how I found inspiration in the French Impressionist paintings I viewed during a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. I closely studied the looseness of their brushstrokes and the confidence in their color palettes, and this approach found its way into my floral painting that is part of the demo in today's video.
