Its the day after Thanksgiving. We're just taking a low key day so I took my time with this one. 

I watched the entire video ahead of time. 

I watched the segment before I did that step.

I spent the time getting the colors like I wanted and worked up the composition. It's still rough in spots but if I keep working at it I'll get better. 

I need to rethink my setup. I wanted to start this with what I had on hand and not spend any more money on this until I decided if I was going to like it. I paid a guy $100 for this whole set of paints because he wanted to go back to oils. Eventually, I'll see what else I have but it's working for now. I do want to get a primary red so I can make orange or maybe just buy orange. 

Since I'm just using a desk to paint, there was an incident when I had yellow paint on the finger I used to steady my canvas. I looked at easels, got overwhelmed, and tabled the idea for now.

I did order a wet palette. I'm really taking my time between steps and that's working nicely but it also means that I have to remix everything since my palette keeps drying out. As much as I need the practice mixing colors, I am burning through paint at an alarming rate.
