ABOUT INSPIRATION
Painting
is
not
always
as
relaxing
as
it
seems,
especially
when
the
flow
of
ideas
dries
up.
Nobody
can
turn
on
inspiration
like
a
tap
-
I
wish
one
could.
Sometimes
i
use
my
photoes
like
visual
prompts
for
how i could put tones or colours together.
EMPTY WHITE PAPER
When
faced
with
a
sheet
of
blank
paper
I
think
most
artists
experience
a
feeling
of
being
unable
to
make
a
single
mark
for
fear
of
spoiling
that
pure
white
surface.
I
still
feel
like
this
each
time
i
come
to
make
a
new
painting,
i
am
excited
at
the
prospect
of
making
perhaps
one
of
the
best pictures i have ever painted.
COMPOSING PICTURES
I
never
make
underdrawings
before
i
actually
put
paint
to
paper,
but
sometimes
i
make
small
preparatory
sketches
of
my
ideas
for
paintings.
It
is
a
process
that
allows
me
to
determine
the
overall
composition,
format
and
colour
balance
without
inhibiting
the
spontaneity
with
which i like to paint.

FINISHING THE ART
I had reached a point where most of the major elements had been resolved and the
picture was very nearly finished. This is when i find it is best to put a painting to one
side and forget about it. After a while i can look at it with a fresh eye and decide what
needs to be done.
My vision: to inspire people to look more art, so that they can make the world for the
better.
Thanks, Yours Pasi
