Don't worry - I don't know what I'm doing either.

I've been a bit confused about my art lately. For the past year, year and a half, I've felt like I knew what kind of art I wanted to create. I might not have been able to paint as well as I wanted but I've felt like I knew where I wanted to go. Lately I don't feel like I have any idea about where I want to go anymore.

These are some small quick studies of the master Kazuo Oga - the amazing artist who has painted the backgrounds for Hayao Miyazaki's movies. I'm practising mixing and combining colors. I just love his paintings and hopefully I might pick up a trick or two.

I really want to go outside and do my own nature paintings but I feel like studying his work first might be the way to go. Maybe that's where I want to go with my art - painting magical and beautiful nature paintings? I don't know - maybe.

Materials:
- Watercolor
- Gouache

It works better than overwhelming everything with too many colors - but I still feel like I'm not quite there with my color combinations.
That's why I've decided to try and really focus on the colors. First I'll start small. I heard somewhere someone say that beginners often choose too many colors too quickly and then they get overwhelmed. I think that's been my problem. So now I'm going to focus on only one color at the time. I'll try to really get to know the individual color. How I can blend them into different shades without just using black or wh
