Why Stories Matter
Using stories in your canvas is not only fun but also makes you have a close touch with your art. Every scene you paint comes to life, populated with people and stories that make it feel real. When you pick up your paintbrush again, let your mind wander and paint without a second thought. Be spontaneous and allow your creativity to flow freely.
The trees are your friends or your enemies, in a constant battle or in a companionship. See the brave attempts at escaping up the mountains, which make the territory an active part of the story. See the small animals on the grass plain and the activity and social relations of the group. It is in these vivid scenes that friendships are made, conflict occurs, and new adventures are begun.
Every picture is a story which is begging to be painted. When you add these imaginative stories into your art you are not only adding more visual interest but also more emotional interest to your work. The narratives that are painted in each piece make the viewer think about the story that is ongoing, and the story that could follow.
These are the perfect activities that you need in order to keep your creative self alive and kicking. They make you think differently and look for more meaning and creativity in the world. It is through such a process that one’s work remains fresh and innovative.
The use of storytelling in your art is a celebration of imagination and a proof of how vast your creative juice is. It makes each painting not only a piece of art, but a story, a glimpse of the world and its inhabitants. Therefore, the next time you want to paint, just think, and do not restrict your creativity. Step into the stories and see how your artwork will develop in ways you cannot even conceive.
In your painting, using stories is not just fun, but also an excellent way to get close to your art. Every scene you paint comes alive, with people and stories you create, making it feel real. When you pick up your paintbrush again, let your mind wander and paint without a second thought. Try to be spontaneous and let your creativity flow.
