The Healing Power of Art: Therapeutic Benefits of Oil Painting

Art has long been recognized for its ability to heal and uplift the human spirit by US International Art . Among the various forms of artistic expression, oil painting stands out for its therapeutic benefits. From reducing stress and anxiety to enhancing emotional well-being, the act of oil painting can be a transformative experience. 

Let's explore the healing power of art and move into how oil painting can nurture both the mind and soul.           

Mindful Expression

Engaging in oil painting requires focus and concentration, akin to meditation. The process of selecting colors, mixing paints, and applying brushstrokes encourages mindfulness, allowing artists to be fully present in the moment. This meditative quality can reduce stress levels and promote a sense of calm and inner peace.

Emotional Release

Oil painting provides a non-verbal means of expressing complex emotions. Whether joy, sorrow, or anger, the canvas serves as a safe space to release pent-up feelings. By externalizing emotions through art, individuals can gain clarity and insight into their inner world, promoting emotional healing and self-discovery.

Color Therapy

Colors have a profound impact on our emotions and psyche. In oil painting, artists can deliberately select colors to evoke specific moods or feelings. For example, warm tones like red and orange can energize and uplift, while cool tones like blue and green can soothe and calm. This intentional use of color can enhance emotional well-being and promote a sense of balance and harmony.

Composition and Balance

The act of composing a painting requires artists to make choices about balance, proportion, and harmony. This process of creating order from chaos can be inherently therapeutic, mirroring the journey of life itself. By arranging elements on the canvas, artists can gain a sense of control and mastery over their environment, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience.

Self-Expression

Oil painting offers a unique opportunity for self-expression. Through art, individuals can communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a deeply personal and meaningful way. This act of self-expression can foster a sense of authenticity and self-acceptance, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Empowerment through Creativity

Oil painting encourages experimentation and innovation. Artists are free to explore new techniques, styles, and subjects, pushing the boundaries of their creativity. This sense of freedom and possibility can be incredibly empowering, instilling a sense of confidence and resilience that carries over into other areas of life.

Artistic Connection

Engaging in oil painting fosters a connection to the broader artistic community. Through classes, workshops, or online forums, artists can connect with like-minded individuals, share their work, and draw inspiration from others. This sense of belonging and camaraderie can provide much-needed support and encouragement, bolstering confidence and motivation.

Sense of Achievement

Completing an oil painting offers a tangible sense of achievement and pride. Witnessing the transformation of a blank canvas into a work of art instills a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. This sense of achievement boosts self-esteem and reinforces the notion that challenges can be overcome with patience, perseverance, and creativity.

In a Nutshell

Therefore, the healing power of art, particularly oil painting, is undeniable. From providing a therapeutic outlet for emotional expression to fostering mindfulness and self-awareness, oil painting offers a myriad of benefits for the mind, body, and soul. No matter, if you're a seasoned artist or a novice, consider exploring oil paintings for sale , and experience firsthand its transformative effects. Let your creativity flow and discover the healing potential of this timeless art form.

How do you imagine Levan/Revan/ Mallenoa's husband?

Appearance, personality etc.

Revaan/Laverne/whatever-his-name-is's title sort of implies that he might be from a fantasy-Eastern country (they've established that in Twstland, 竜 = Eastern-style dragons, andドラゴン = Western-style dragons). and that's about as much as we know right now about...anything in regards to what he might look like. so I've been trying very hard not to form too much of a mental picture of him, because I'm still hoping we'll get to see him (or at least a silhouette)! ergo, in my head, he kind of looks like this:

so handsome. surely Malenoa fell in love at first glance.

I do think the funniest thing about what we've learned so far is that Malleus being kind of quiet and reserved and dignified...absolutely did not come from the Draconias. and he sure as heck did not learn it from Lilia. so he probably got a lot of that from his dad! the vibe I get from how Lilia talks about him is that he could be a bit of a prim little fancyboy sometimes, but was (mostly) willing to go along with his wife's zany antics out of love. he sounds sweet, honestly! I'm sorry he (maybe) died. :(

my favorite thing about Mal's parents is that Malenoa and Lilia's dynamic was "long-suffering guard and princess who has long been the cause of said suffering":

but then they would happily join forces in order to gang up on Revaan:

tl;dr Revaan was the straightman in Malenoa and Lilia's comedy act until it all ended horribly whoops

ok so i made a greeku (cretan version) didn’t want to spend a ton of time on this but i think it’s cute :) used a traditional dress that i’ve worn and am most familiar with and while they’re often red they can also be blue or even purple or white for brides. in the left hand corner is my little island (it’s actually kind of big) :)

It’s not my fault! I’m not to blame. It is that wretched girl, the witch who sent this flame!

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

So @somerandomdudelmao made a version of their sona in a dystopia (inspired by @tapakah0 doing the same to theirs) and the person in this ask named the robot C.A.S.5 and I thought, ‘well then there’s at least four other C.A.S. units out and about in the world’ leading to this being the end result! It was a lot of fun to come up with the different customizations each C.A.S. unit has.

also, the design for C.A.S.4 (Cash) was partially inspired by @mobiitez post.

RETURN TO MONKE (PUBERTY EDITION)

MK’s monkey form doesn’t feel right to me so i wanted to break up his transformation into stages. Maybe as he learns to accept that side of himself it becomes part of him, instead of changing between human and monkey randomly (which is probably painful). Love yourself, NOW!!!

@zymstarz im tagging you for FULL MONKE
