When I initially started working with acrylic painting, my mind turned to a sort of simplified still life. That is to say, a still life consisting of only one to three items on white. Nothing fancy, but going down the proverbial rabbit hole when it comes to detail and color. I only work with four tubes of paint; red, yellow, blue and white. From these I mix all my colors to match what I see. In that sense, I deconstruct colors I want to wind up with down to the primaries plus white.
