Edited to add… These were done in my journal, the additional/contrasting rectangle is a partial section from the opposite page from the main painting (digital cut and paste).

I really like the paintings. But you're right about the colours - To have a full spectrum of colour you need cool and warm of all three primary colours. Magenta makes the best purples. Buy a book on colour theory, it'll be your best friend. It'll make your painting sing for joy.

These painting look thin and dry too. try mixing in a platic based medium or even PVA instead of water. The pigment will hold its true colour and not dry so flat. Canvas supports texture so don't fight it. But colour theory is what will help the most.

Hi Megan, These were just quickies in my journal, on paper. Basicall just scribbles which I coloured in and smeared paint on LOL.
