New community kitchen serving Mawasi Al-Qarara refugee camp in west Gaza

This is an initiative aiming to buy food, diapers, and other necessities in bulk to distribute to the residents of Mawasi Al-Qarara camp. The campaign is vouched for by one of my contacts in Gaza, who lives in the camp and will be helping with distribution.

From the campaign page:

The families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area are facing unbearable challenges, being displaced from their homes and living under the constant threat of missiles, disease, and starvation. We aim to provide as much aid as possible using every penny given to us. Mohammed and his brothers, Salah and Youssef, will be on the ground distributing everything to the people of the camp. These families are in desperate need of help. We hope to alleviate some of their fears and worries of death by starvation or illness, as they navigate such challenging circumstances. Your support can make a significant difference. Thank you for your generosity.

Please give generously and share broadly!

your colors are so gorgeous, do you have any advice for colorpicking and including lots of shades like you do?

Thank you!

I don't think I have any good advice. Seriously. Or at least nothing that isn't just repeating things other, more eloquent people can say. I've answered asks like this a few times here, here, here, and here, if you find anything useful among those, but most of it boils down to 1. using complimentary colors 2. using other pieces of art as inspiration and 3. trusting your gut

If I had to pick one of those three points to emphasize, definitely the part about using other art as inspiration – branch out. Buy old art textbooks, look at online galleries, etc. It's important to me that my digital art feels at least somewhat grounded in actual painting techniques/color schemes/textures because that's something I admire in the art that I personally like, but other than that I don't think very hard about the color schemes I use 90% of the time so it's really hard for me to answer things like this
