Inga Buive - Painting While My Son Naps
EPISODE 86
If you often make the excuse that you don’t have enough time to make art, you are going to love this episode. I say that because my guest today, Inga Buive, has mastered the art of painting while her son naps!
Originally from Lithuania, Inga moved to the UK with her husband five years ago. With a background in graphic design, she found work in an e-learning company and still works for this same company full-time. Two years ago, Inga had a baby boy, and it was while on maternity leave that she finally had the courage to start painting and sharing her work online.
In this conversation, Inga talks about making art in short bursts, letting go of the pressure to find your style, and the ins and outs of her favourite watercolour supplies.
If you want to bring more fun and less fear into your creative practice, I encourage you to take a listen.
