/lit/ - Literature

I gain ideas through mediation. Sometimes i will lay down and ask myself how i feel till a vision comes into my head. I then use it to make paintings.

To me there are basically two things i ask myself to be creative.
How do you feel, and what do you see.

1. i will sit there and meditate on existence, feelings, reality, history, time, people, until i get a vision

2. what do you see. like litrrrly, what do you see right in front of you. Another thing i do is steal. But i dont rip off. I will steal an idea or style. Like if i see edvard munchs "the scream", i will steal that idea, i will do a portrait of someone screaming. Or i will steal the style and paint something else.


One esoteric way of creation i have discovered is role playing and method acting. Rather, through meditation, pretend to be someone or something else, then wait for a vision


Okay, the last way i create things is i pick an emotion and i decide to make a painting that is the embodiment of that emotion.

Wait, just remembered. I took the idea of the occult sigil. One way i do create things is by painting things i desire.

I think basic human artistic creation can be divided into two forms, materialist, and spiritual

I got this idea from the van gogh painting the potato eaters. So, a materialist would paint reality. The poor, landscapes, shit like that.

But a spiritual person would paint fantastical things, like uhhh dali paintings. or just romance and fantasy.
