I'm a simple person: A nightclub-like song with sad lyrics makes my day

I used to teach painting parties, which gives a lot of insight into the artistic skill set of the average, non-artistic person. Let me tell you….most adults struggle to remember which colors make other colors.

I’ll ask “okay, which colors make purple?”

And I’ll get a very long audience pause in response, before someone very cautiously answers.

One of the most frustrating things for a party guest was being able to create, not just the color I instructed them to make initially, but having to make the color again. I’ve seen all manner of professionals furrow their brows, wasting entire plates of paint just trying to replicate a color they were using five minutes ago. (And not succeeding, they sheepishly ask for help)

Mixing paint and knowing how to apply it is a skill. I’ve had guests ask me ‘how are you doing that?’ ‘She makes it look so easy’

I went to school! That’s exactly what I tell them. There are entire units and lesson plans in college just dedicated to critical painting fundamentals. We were made to mix paints into wheels and various gradients. I was taught how to manage different kinds of paints for the desired texture or consistency.

“I could make that!”

My dear, I can paint. I have a degree. I am a professional.

I have no fuckinh idea how he made that canvas that blue,
