Anatomy🔥 I realize any of your fantasies 😉😋💦 (Canvas, oil.)
There is no inspiration. It is not true. Spiritual forces and creative enthusiasm in my opinion are the usual components of a person who loves his work / hobby. And the time when you are tired, lazy or processed has everyone.
Those famous artists (and other popular creative characters), whom we know for years, wrote their pictures not because there was no inspiration and they waited for the muse.
Many people abused alcohol, others with drugs. And in general they were good parasites.
In this state, a muse can come to them and come of course.
for example
Picasso. He drank a lot and used drugs.
My pet - Salvador Dali was smoking opium.
Van Gogh. Treated alcohol dependence in a psychiatric clinic.
Modigliani. Opium and hashish.
Pyatnitsky. He drank a lot and died from heroin overdose.
Savrasov. He died of white fever in a hospital for the poor.
For example, Stephen King, was an alcoholic and did not even remember how he wrote many of his novels.
And many such, we study them in school.
So the list of suicides against the background of bad habits is huge.
Yesenin (drank a lot, hanged himself),
Mayakovsky (did not drink, but used heroin and shot himself), Tsvetaeva (hanged herself against the background of alcoholic intoxication),
Jack London (poisoned himself with morphine).
Taken from biography☝
Therefore, I create and with "inspiration" and without. After all, I love my job and my appetite comes with eating.

process

There are things that you need to know before you start writing with oil.
All colors are a mixture of dry pigment and liquid.
In oil paints, the pigment is mixed with linseed oil. Flaxseed oil is an oil that dries out during the oxidation process with air. It absorbs oxygen from the air and constantly crystallizes the pigment of the paint. When the oil dries, it can not be removed.

Oil paints are thick.
They are produced in pipes. Paints are squeezed out on a palette and mixed with a palette knife to create new shades. Then they are applied to the vertically arranged canvas by rigid elastic brushes.

Dry oil paints are very slow.
Normally you need to wait three days before putting the next layer. This long drying time is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The big advantage is that you will have time to understand what you have drawn. This is very useful when moving a gradient from one color to another. Or, if you are unhappy with what is happening, while the paint is still damp, you can clean it with a cloth, a palette knife or a rubber scraper and redraw.

The disadvantage is that if we put a pair of moist colors of two different colors next to each other, they can randomly join each other. With a palette, brushes and a damp rag you need to handle very carefully so that you do not smear yourself, clothes, food and furniture.
Work on oil painting (from three to six months)
With paint, you can work up to 12 hours in a row, after which you must leave the work to dry for three days, after which you can continue to work. When the colors are dry, new colors can be applied over the top. There can be many layers in the work. Each successive layer should be the same thickness or thicker than the previous one, otherwise there will be cracks.

After the work has completely dried up (from three to six months), it is necessary to apply a protective layer of lacquer Damar.
