@Blackcloud , yeah when the motivation hits, it hits hard, but when it goes, it's left half done for a while 🤣🤣
I love that mantra, what colour doesn't have to be 'perfect' it's the sense of taking a pencil shade forward in completion that matters 🌻

@Rosepetal96 @Blackcloud i can relate to the difficulty/stress of choosing colours.
Thats why i do "by numbers" 😅

I have just finished a painting for my psychologist. I hope it’s good enough. It’s for her new room. She just started her own practice.

@Oaktree that's beautiful!
I love this piece, how long did it take you to create this artwork?
In response to: Re: Hobbies and Projects

@Rosepetal96
Probably around 10-12 hours all together. I am glad that you like it. I mixed the cream colour myself. I wanted to put shading in the corner but that didn’t work out exactly as planned.

@Oaktree wow, that's amazing! I definitely am not as creative painting wise, but give me some inspiration and I can paint a vivid image with words.
Creative writing or any writing of the sorts, is my forte 🌟
What's the process like for mixing your own coloured paint? Does it have a certain degree of ratio for the perfect shade or is it a bit about trial and error?
