How to Make an Abstract Painting Using a Sponge

Do you love painting and you dream of decorating the home yourself? We cannot imagine a world without color. Colors are enriching our lives and influence our mood. For example, color combinations that are dark can make us sad and melancholic, while bright colors seem joyful and give us a sensation of happiness. To influence the feelings of those who watch your paintings, you should understand color combinations and the way the human brain interprets them. For that purpose, you can use the color wheel, which will guide you, regarding the colors and color shades that can be combined in order to create beautiful color harmonies. Painting is a way of expressing your feelings and emotions and has a deeply relaxing effect on the human psyche. It is a type of hobby that does not require great investments. A piece of paper, some colors, and a brush are generally enough if you plan to start painting. The only limit to what you create is your imagination. Painting offers you unlimited ways to express yourself.
