[Previously](https://peakd.com/hive-174301/@hiddenblade/intuitive-paintings-iii), I focused more on painting shapes. This time, the focus is more on brushstrokes . I didn't have any plans on what a batch of paintings would be for the day but looking at them altogether, they have a common color - black. XD

I use less black now mainly because I like how ultramarine blue and raw umber looks like. The darkest one for this was mixed with a bit of green as well to make it look nice with the others. I'm trying to get used to the contrast of desaturated colors and vivid colors together so I added the pinks as well. I try not to follow too much on the color palette generator since it only contains 4 colors and I need to get used to using other colors as well with them.

Maybe because I was listening to the album while I was doing this. :P I like the ruby red and the almost-lime greens and how they're not too much.

I think a lot of contemporary artists use this color palette and that reminds me of it. It is no wonder why this shade of blue was also popular even in ancient Egypt.

Despite our technological advances, greed still prevails. Also I'm not sure how that shade of yellow became a neon shade despite using the same paint tube and mixes. I think it is because it is beside a very dark color. :D

# Which one's your favorite? Mine is the third one. The simplicity looks really good to me and reminds me of an artist named Tracy Emin. :D
