Need to breathe

Originally, I was going to make this into a string art, but ended up painting it instead. I think i need to lighten the. green on the bottom, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

... Read moreCreating art can sometimes lead us down unexpected paths, like the transition from string art to painting. If you find yourself looking to lighten colors or need tips on color mixing, consider the following: 1. **Lightening Colors**: To lighten a color, mix it with white or a lighter shade of the same hue. This not only creates a softer tone but also allows for more depth in your artwork. 2. **Understanding Color Theory**: Familiarize yourself with the color wheel. Learning about complementary colors can help you create balance and contrast, enriching the overall composition. 3. **Experiment with Techniques**: Don't hesitate to experiment with different techniques such as glazing, where you apply a thin, transparent layer of paint to alter the color beneath. This method can create beautiful effects and is perfect for those looking to refresh their work. 4. **Join Online Art Communities**: Engage with online forums and social media groups related to art. Platforms like Lemon8 or other community forums can provide a treasure trove of advice, encouragement, and inspiration from fellow artists. Sharing your process, like your transition from string art to painting, invites constructive feedback and new ideas. Art is a personal journey, and you're not alone in seeking improvement or inspiration. Embrace the process, experiment with colors, and don't shy away from asking for help in communities. Happy creating!

If our mouths are the gateway to health, why wouldn’t our breath need to be prioritized above all else? The answer to that is… It absolutely does need to be prioritized. No matter what you go through in life always remember to breathe. Breathe first. Breathe last. Breathe through it. All of it.
