Day 2 of remedy for my artistic laziness and encouragement of good habits..

Either a painting a day or a drawing a day would be a more realistic habit to follow. I did another painting today; but this time, I decided to challenge myself. I only used the 3 prime colors to mix together and decided to start the habit of mixing with a palette knife for the purpose of treating my brushes nicely for once. So yeah, I only used Perm. Rose, Cad. Yellow Pale Hue, Cerulean Blue Hue and French Ultramarine. All Winton.. oh how I wish I had artist grade paints. Some day.. some day. I actually have dreams where I'm using artist grade paints... it's pretty cool to see what my brain thinks using them will be like.

So yeah.. salt shaker on a mirror, outside. Hence the blue reflection of the sky. More finished than the last one. I started at 5:59 and ended at 7:50.. past sundown.

I encourage critique... especially the harsh stuff. Like.. yes, Elisabeth, you did use nursinghomish colors for this.
