When I did this painting I found it useful to use a bigger brush. I was doing a background for this painting, so the bigger brush helped a lot! I also found that it was easier to do a lighter color under a darker color! It takes many layers to have a lighter color to show up on a dark color! When I started my painting I didn't really know what I was doing! I started by painting a random background, then I thought it would be neat to have a quote over top. I also thought that it would be neat to have the quote in yellow because yellow goes nicely with purple, and black! I soon figured out what I was doing! I have liked the quote "just be you," so it was what I was going to use! When I finished the background I came back to the painting the next day. I had to wait for the painting to dry, so I could write the quote! I learned that it takes many layers to have yellow show up on black, and purple. It took 3 layers of yellow to look the way I wanted it to! When I was done I looked at my work, and I thought of all the reasons why I really like the quote that I picked! I really like it because I nver wanted to be the same! I have always thought it would be so boring to have someone just like me! I think my main point was to show people to be themselfs, and be happy with yourself!
