Yeah, even so only matters if you're going in for a realism style haha. Just sometimes I don't think enough and wonder why it doesn't work for me, not realizing I should be doing something else. Mixing paint is so interesting, and here we also have a struggle with the composition in colors. Using paint (or being a painter in general) gave me a few learnings in chemistry and sometimes physics. 🤣

"spoiling a big one ive been working on for months" because im not quite in the mood.

Hahaha omg I totally get this. I'm like this too. I call it practice but it's more like procrastination most of the time LOL. The back of my mind is telling me JUST DO IT!!!
