What is string painting?

String painting is an art technique that uses string to create textured designs in paint. To create a string painting, you start by attaching the end of a piece of string to a piece of paper or canvas. Then, you carefully move the string around, letting it fall into different shapes. As the string moves, it creates peaks and valleys in the paint, creating a unique and textured design.

String painting can be a very meditative art form, as it requires you to focus on the present moment and let the string guide you. It can also be a great way to express your creativity and experiment with different colors and textures.
