I have an inexpensive sketchbook that I devote to trying out colour mixing. When I am in a funk, I choose three colours from my palette and spend some time just mixing them to see what I get. Nice to just play with the colours and I can keep a record of what I mixed in case I want to use it somewhere.
Thank you, I'm still learning but I feel like so many of these subjects are hard for beginners like me and I want us all to learn and improve together 😄
This resonates with me. I get so precious with my supplies. I researched and bought the "min-max" paints I could find: the best quality I could afford. But then, I mix up these tiny little puddles of paint because I'm nervous about "wasting" it. But then I don't like the paintings because the colors are dull because I didn't use enough paint. I've been trying more experimental techniques where I mix up whole bowls of paint then pour, flick, squirt, sprinkle, etc. to see what I get. I'm definitely happier with my results when I mix up more concentrated paint. It's a good lesson.
I get it, I really do! I splurged early on and then froze because I didn't want to waste it! heheheh Now I think it's only paint or it's only paper and it does make a difference in the performance so... well worth it!
I wish I had this issue right now. I’m in the middle of a move and all my supplies are packed away and I couldn’t be any more full of ideas and inspiration right now so it’s frustrating for me not to be able to get to them all😢 It when this happens, I hop onto YT, Pinterest and Google Image searches of places and things or of other people’s artwork to get ideas and usually that helps a lot!
Guys, let's change this once and for all!! Enjoy!

Nice to see a left handed painter!
Brilliant ideas for warm ups and just playing around, then can be used for abstract backgrounds ~ win win!!!!

That's a great problem to have, once you're settled you'll have do much fun!!!
Good watercolor paper is so expensive where I live that it’s hard to just play around.
Have you tried Academy? It's so much cheaper and still great!
