I try to put some paint on paper at least once a day after reading: 'doing SOMETHING is better than NOTHING' in "Show Your Work" by Austin Kleon.
(Painting on Right) I put these colors on an illustration board covered with white gesso. I will chalk this up to practice and wash it off and try again. Sometimes you learn how NOT to do something when you try. I look for at least one area that I like instead of seeing everything I don't like.
This painting (left) is done on plastic yupo paper. The purples around the tulips is used as a complimentary color and makes the yellows brighter. The purples were thicker paint which stays put better on wet paper. I'll wash this one off and start anew.
