I Painted the First Thing I Saw When I Woke up!

I painted the first thing I saw when I woke up, allowing the quiet moment that was already waiting for me to become the subject instead of searching for something more dramatic or impressive. Before we begin, I want to share two important studio announcements. My new original oil painting collection will be released on March 7th, and my new art classes will be released on March 21st.

I was drawn to the softness of the morning light and the familiarity of the objects that live in that space, and I wanted to capture not only how it looked, but how it felt to notice it. There is something grounding about allowing yourself to paint what is already part of your life instead of searching endlessly for something new. This simple act of observation becomes a way of returning to presence, and of remembering that inspiration is often waiting quietly in the ordinary moments we move past without seeing. ✨Art supplies used in this video: Stillman & Birn Beta Series Sketchbook: https://tidd.ly/4qU5ThP ShinHan Art Gouache Set of 12: https://tidd.ly/3MIUraL ShinHan Art Gouache Set B: https://tidd.ly/3MIUraL Princeton Velvetouch Paint Brushes: https://tidd.ly/4l2MIB8 ✨Other things I mentioned in this video: Sarah Burns Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxgKzp1uj_Q&t=2s 🌲 Stay Connected With Me Instagram https://www.instagram.com/winterwoodsstudio Shop and website https://www.winterwoodsstudio.com Patreon https://www.patreon.com/winterwoodsstudio Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/winterwoods If this video resonated with you, I would love to know what the first thing you saw when you woke up today was, because those quiet moments often hold more meaning than we expect.
