Who or what inspires Grace to create?Her inspiration is a mixed-media canvas of observation and fantasy. Her inspiration flows from a colorful mix of everyday magic and newfound curiosity. At ten, she often draws from the natural world, finding wonder in the way light hits a leaf or the vibrant colors of a sunset. She is equally influenced by the people in her life and the animated shows she loves. Whether inspired by a family trip or the artwork of others she sees online to the her everyday life. Nothing stops her creativity.
What is Grace's favorite art form?She loves mixed media. She begins in her sketchpad, her primary tool for capturing a moment. Using a pencil for form and proportion. Next, alcohol-based markers bring intense, saturated color to her line work. For texture and detail, she shifts to colored pencils, which she uses to layer depth and subtle shading. The final touch might be a splash of watercolor paint for a dreamy, background wash, allowing her to blend the different materials into a unique, vibrant style.
