Thank you!

Sit at your art table and create a simple drawing, painting, or digital sketch of your studio as it really looks. Don’t worry about perfect details—just capture the space and the objects around you.

Step 2: Look Beyond What You See

Now pause and observe your surroundings differently. Ask yourself: “What could this become in an imaginary world?”. Look at every object on your table and let your imagination transform it. You can invent anything—fairies, colour wells, floating islands, enchanted flowers, magical creatures or rivers of paint. Give Everyday Objects a Fantasy Life. Start making connections between objects and magical elements.

For example in my painting attached below, I have transformed :

• A paintbrush stand → a magical paintbrush tree

• An ArtBin → a waterfall of flowing paints

• A sheet of paper → a colourful river

• Walnuts → tiny butterflies

• Pistachio shells → stones beneath a magical tree

🖌️ Step 3: Transform Your Studio

Now take another good quality paper or canvas for painting. Sketch your imagination on it. Keep the original studio as your foundation, but allow reality and imagination to merge. Paint the objects so they gradually transform into their fantasy versions. Use any desired art medium for painting.

Step 5: Add Your Own Magic

Fill the empty spaces with details that could only exist in your imagination, glowing colours, tiny characters, unusual plants, magical paths or hidden stories. Don’t just paint your studio. Paint the world you see when your imagination takes over. 🎨

Instead of simply painting what you see, imagine what your familiar objects could become. Turn your everyday painting space into a place where colours flow like rivers, brushes grow like trees, and ordinary objects become part of a fantasy landscape. There are no rules about what they should become. A brush can grow into a tree, paper can become a river, and a handful of nuts can turn into butterflies. Let your imagination decide. The next time you sit at your art table, don’t just ask “What do I see?”
Ask yourself: “What else could this be?”

Create light desires or a colour gradient using desired medium like watercolour. The paper should be of good quality.

Step 2: Write on a rough paper

On a rough paper write down your thoughts in a format of a letter.

1. Begin with:
“Dear ______,”

Any of these or give a name to your future self.

• The Artist I’m Becoming

• The Artist Within

• The Artist of Tomorrow

• My Unfinished Self

2. Open with what you secretly dream of

Write one dream you may not always say aloud. Ask yourself: What do I deeply wish to achieve as an artist? It could be a museum exhibition, your own gallery, publishing a book, reaching people through your art—or something only you know.

3. Write about the art you want to create like “I want my artwork to…”

Think beyond beautiful. What should your work make people feel, remember or discover? For example: “I want my artwork to carry its own spark of ideas, colours and magic—something found nowhere else.”

4. Reveal the uncertainty.

This is where the letter becomes truly personal. “I don’t know how to…” Maybe you don't know how you will reach a museum, build your dream studio, publish your ideas, or find your audience. You don't need to solve it. Just acknowledge it.

5. Make promises

Instead of making huge resolutions, make promises about the artist you want to be. Like I promise to…

• keep creating even when I doubt myself.

• protect my originality.

• keep learning and experimenting.

Choose promises that genuinely belong to you.

6. Leave one message for your future artist

Imagine you are opening this letter years from now. This can become the emotional heart of your letter.

7. Seal your thought

Finish with one sentence that you want to carry forward. For example: “I don’t know the way there yet, but I promise to keep becoming.”

Step 3: Write this on main paper

Using a calligraphy pen or marker or simple pen whichever you prefer, write this text in beautiful fonts.

Step 4: Faming

Fame this letter an hang where you can daily notice it.

🎨 Make it an artwork

Don't treat the letter as just writing. Turn it into a little piece of art.

Use textured paper, handmade borders, sketches, tiny symbols, pressed flowers, paint marks, collage pieces or meaningful colours.

The idea is not to predict who you will become. It is to leave a message for the artist you are still becoming.

Here is the example of my letter. I got the inspiration to write this letter from the article of “The Archive of Lost Ideas” by DIYvinci.

This painting I did few years ago. It was already looking beautiful and I considered it complete although something was always pulling me towards it. Recently when I learned sculpting with mouldit clay and made a background with it in my previous painting, then I came to know exactly what’s missing. I made a frame for this of a money plant veil. Also done lot of retouching. Here is the final outcome.

I think painting takes its own time to complete and time make it even more better. Painting is complete when it really is not when we think it’s complete.
