It's been a very long time since I've bought any new tubes of acrylic paint so I'm planning projects for the colors that I've got on hand:
white
burnt sienna
cadmium yellow
bronze yellow
prisim violet
light portrait pink
burnt umber
payne's gray
cadmium red
As you can see it's mostly browns, yellows and a bit of red and purple. I had painted sunflowers until I ran out of anything to make nice greens for the leaves.
Now that I'm about out of everything I'll finally get around to painting the still life of all of the pottery that my sister and I made years ago.
A few versions of that should polish off the end of those paints and I'll be able to start fresh with a full set in new colors.
Clearing the old paints out of the way first is the best way to make sure that you don't accidently put a thickened or lumpy paint into a new painting and spoil it.
I've been meaning to paint that pottery for years, now I'm out of excuses and more or less forced to get it done.
It may not sound like it but I'm actually excited at the prospect of it.
