#CreateWithChelle: Painting

Let’s spread a little positivity! I challenge you to take on a positivity week on top of this home portrait challenge — don’t dwell on any negatives and find things that make you happy every day.

Whenever my coworkers and I were experiencing a particularly rough few weeks, we would change it around and try to be more positive for a whole week in order to stop our grumbling and appreciate the good in life. That doesn’t mean we were smiling the whole week, but we did focus more on what was enjoyable during the day. I will forever be grateful for those friends!

Challenge 9: Paint the World

Whatever brightens your day, paint it to life! Whether this means you actually want to physically paint something or use Photoshop. Art is all about expressing yourself however you like. Don’t stress too much and just have fun with it! As Bob Ross said, “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.”

The act of creating something with your own hands is such a rewarding feeling. I don’t have too many paints, but I enjoy using acrylics and watercolors. There are so many different techniques, you can really create anything that you imagine!

Here are some ideas of positive things you can paint on your photo:

Sunshine

Rainbows

Flowers

Positive Affirmations
