Creating a gradient involves blending two or more colors smoothly. You can achieve this in various mediums such as digital design, painting, or even fabric dyeing. In digital design, gradients are often created using software tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, where you select the gradient tool and define the colors and direction of the blend. For painting, you might mix colors directly on the canvas, blending them with a brush to create a gradient effect. In fabric dyeing, a gradient can be achieved by using different dye concentrations or by moving the fabric through a dye bath at different speeds.
