1.
Carefully plop dollops of paint onto a clean pallete with a knife.

2.
Using the knife, combine colors.
Remember:
Red and blue make purple
Blue and yellow make green
Yellow and red make orange

3.
Place desired colors on the canvas.
Begin by creating the form of your figure.
Search for simple shapes that define the figure.
Make sure the proportions of your figure are proper and accurate.
Understand the interactions between the figure and its environment,
The negative space.

Create color interactions:
Monochromatic
Complementary
Split complementary
Tetradic
Memorizing these terms may be imperative to your artistic creation.

4.
In order to make your piece truly beautiful
You need to focus on it.
Control your motor movements.
Lean in closer to the canvas for better detail.
Become lost in it.
The process of gliding your brush
Creating streaks of paint
Making your piece glow
Losen your grip on the handle
Let the colors flow
And your mind open
Until finally

5.
Step back and admire what you have made
