My name is Bryan McCormick, and I am a professional artist. I’ve been painting professionally since, probably, 2016. My main specialty is oil painting, but I also do a fair amount of watercolors and drawings. What inspires me is the world around me -- I can find inspiration in my kitchen while I’m cooking, on a drive out to get some groceries… It really can be just about anything.
Right now, I’m really just continuing my daily painting project. I try to do a completed painting a day. At the very least I pick up a brush everyday, or a pencil, so I’m always creating every day and that’s an ongoing project.
Inspiration will find you, but only while you’re working.
Art, I think, is like any other skill. If you want to progress, if you want to get better, if you want to learn more about yourself, you really have to make it systematic. Inspiration will find you, but only while you’re working.
