The Awkward Phase



I just started painting my newest piece. The yellow paint was not as opaque as I'd hoped (shame on you, Blick!) so I decided to prime it with acrylic gesso first. Some of the honeycomb cardboard has a reddish colored dye in the paper, and so it became pink when I painted it. Despite these obstacles, I am determined to make the painting yellow.
