The story of the two figures on the bench along the shores of Lake Champlain is told mainly by the colors. Think of a book printed in a language you can read. Composition is the language of art, and color is the particular dialect.
As I’m thinking about my struggle mixing blues, I ask myself why I didn’t write the formula down. So, when I mix an acrylic color I want, I will record it on a piece of canvas with labels using a laundry pen.
Storing unused acrylics in a sealed palette using a storage container is going well. The one I have isn’t the one I was looking for in the plastic cabinet cave, but it turns out to be better. It has the 4 side clip down system for a good seal. To help keep the paint moist, I put a soaked paper towel in the water section.

Note: The tea diffuser is quick and simple for ground coffee. However, it leaves tiny bits through into the cup. Oh well. Looking for a small single cup filter diffuser thing.
