Do you every wonder what to do with old artwork that you feel is kind of meh? Recycle it. Better yet, upcycle it and make it better! There are so many possibilities when it comes to upcycling your artwork. Allow yourself to respond to what you have while simultaneously letting it go.

Value is relative. Temperature is relative. Color is relative. There is that word relative again! To simplify, all of these qualities are affected by their context. They exist in relationship to their surroundings. When we change the colors or values around a subject, the relationship to the subject also changes. Being aware of the effects colors and values have on each other can help you create color and value relationships with more accuracy. Understanding the relationships can empower you to use your knowledge to enhance a color or create emphasis by using surrounding colors and values with intention.
