I tried to paint the sketch of a room I wrote about last week but the colours don’t work together. It’s hard to not be critical of one’s own work. I imagine a bald man with round glasses peering down at me, telling me (and others around him) that everyone must avert their gaze to avoid offending their eyes.

In my last monstrosity, I used the back side of the paper and tried painting the same beach scene again. I learned I could paint people’s skin over the beach colour. I also rather liked how their hair turned into gradients.

So hopefully, I can see if I can take something away from my room painting.
