Many innovative ideas are brought to live through paintings. Usually when you have a brilliant idea and someone says to you “that’s a great idea, you should take initiative and make it a reality.” What how often does that happen? Without the resources you don’t even try to make that happen. Converting an idea into reality is never an easy task. But painting can play a medium to make it happen. You can always convey things by painting a blueprint of what you want to invent. Or even if you want a source of innovative idea, you can paint random things and imagination can bring new innovative ideas to you through those paintings.

3. No limit for imagination.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination- Albert Einstein

The great paintings are always the abstract paintings. Earlier paintings were made of people or things which existed in nature and what we have seen in this world. But abstract painting starts, where imagination starts. It’s all about where your imagination can take you. Usually children with their own fantasy world are great in imagining things beyond this world. A painting can be anything, anyone or nothing at all. So painting whatever you like and whatever you love to see in this world is a great fun.

2. Easy way to convey things.

In ancient times, paintings were the only medium to communicate with the other humans. The emotions and the thoughts were communicated only through paintings. This shows that paintings have ability to convey words and emotions to other people. It is said that “a painting is nothing but a poem without words.” Painting is an easy way to convey many deep mysteries of lives.

1. We are allowed to mess up!

Now this is some serious fun! Often one paints because painting requires a messy mind. Great masterpieces usually require spilling the paint all around the canvas. Plus,“Mess makes memories”. Usually a painting has its own story, story of how it was created, all the fun and the mistakes while making a painting makes it more valuable. It is through the mess only where we learn many things. So if you haven’t painted for long, start now! Or you are going to miss all the FUN!!
