You know what else is highly therapeutic, man? Painting! If you haven't ever really tried it, you dont have to be very good, maybe watch a couple quick technique & color mixing videos on YouTube if ya want but I highly recommend spending about $20 on a brush set, some acrylic paint and some small ~8x10 canvases -- see if ya like it! I suggest acrylic paint because I find it easier to work with when starting off and I prefer it to oil & watercolor paints anyway but that is just me. Acrylic paint is very easy to work with and mistakes are easily fixed.

I recently got back into painting after I hadnt painted for years, since high school. Very relaxing to put on some music or a podcast and just chill while painting whatever I feel like. Here are some amazon prime eligible items that could get ya started!

Acrylic paint - 12 colors - $7
15 quaity paint brushes - $6
Set of three 8x10 canvases - $6
Or you could get a canvas pad book. This one is $6 & has 10 canvas pads

Think about giving it a shot!

From some limited experience, you may have had TOO much liquid white on the canvas. Trying using less next time.

To get a clean white color, I find that I have to clean my brushes OFTEN. If my colors start to blend together, I either run the brush on my palette until the brush is clean or use a paper towel to wipe the paint off.

Looks like you "blurred" the clouds out with the "one hair and air"? Might have pushed too hard and blurred all the color together. Also combined with your lavender problem earlier, your white might have taken out all the dark accents. I had a similar problem with my Emerald Water painting background. The shadows are just as important as the light/highlights.

You might need a new fan brush. I just got a new one to test, but I looked for a stiffer bristled brush. The fan brush I was originally using was probably too soft (and originally meant for watercolor/acrylic). https://imgur.com/a/IqxBpt7

Need to load more white paint to get the snow drifts I think. Get that "ridge" of paint on.

Also, in my general experience, something with less colors tend to be harder.

You can always gesso over a canvas to continue practicing, or art stores will carry canvas paper. Basically gesso'd paper. https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-25-309-Canvas-Paper-Sheets/dp/B0027AGL90

Hope your next painting goes well!

Cheap canvas pads is what I have been using for studies and practice as I have been learning. The Strathmore canvas pads are pre-primed and I think would work great for your purposes.

You aren't annoying me at all! Acrylic doesn't work the best on paper, but if you use mixed media paper or even better canvas paper it would be best. I found this - I can't tell if it's preprimed, but an extra coat of gesso wouldn't hurt.

  • Classy Girls by The Lumineers I'm not sure why I like this song so much, but I love it anyways.

  • Pizzly Bear

  • A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.
    He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
    "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a vacation."
    Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
    Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
    The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
    Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
    She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
    She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
    .
    .
    .
    The bank manager looks back at her and says...
    "It's a knick-knack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
