Inspiration to use in your own creative work....
Random word generator for warm-ups
I'm a big fan of warm-ups before painting sessions after learning about it in a Bob Burridge workshop. It takes a bit of moving paint around before you get in your "painting zone" for the day.
I'm talking about directed warm ups... with intentions or goals. We are warming up our brains too.
I stumbled on this site that works perfectly for painting warm ups... it's the Random Word Generator.... Here's the link.
It gives you 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) words...randomly. Set the timer for 5 minutes generate your random words... and let the paint fly, using the words as inspiration.
This is not a waste of paint! Work quickly and boldly... at the very least, you'll have an interesting background to paint something else on top of. And you'll be all warmed up and ready to tackle your ongoing paintings.

The 2 words generated were:
Morning Tea and Leaf
(which is actually 3 words...but it is a free program)
I worked quickly but couldn't make myself stop at the 5 minute mark...my bad. But I did only go 6 minutes.
I subscribe to the "no rule is set in stone" philosophy of art. Make things work FOR YOU!
Brushes and paint ready?
Random words generated?
Timers set?
and....... BEGIN!
