Abstract
Description
In this watercolor and acrylic painting by Participant 316 from the group MLP Artists, titled "A Dark Time," the participant describes their work: "In this painting I used watercolors and acrylic paint. I used warm colors for that watercolors to show the happiness and lightness I felt before the pandemic hit. Over top of the water colors I painted a thick, black, sloppy line to resemble how fast and strong this pandemic came over us. The black line shows the sudden darkness we all felt over top of us not being able to go out and see friends and family and not being able to continue our way of life that we've known."
