Finding my Style with my Failures

Hey guys, how are you doing? I'm here today to present this painting I did. Its a fail paint but I still wanted to show it.

Today, I attempted to make a painting of perspective buildings but ended up failing. I'm proud of my failure because that failure will be my foundation to getting better with painting. By the way, I used poster paint for this one. If you guys have any tips on how I can make myself good with painting, please do tell me in the comments section. Thank you.

Process

**First wet the Paper**

**Then I Applied Diluted Red Poster Paint on the Canvass**

**Then I added *cobalt blue* to make a purple color on my canvass, I just don't have that purple color and I was lazy to mix those colors in a plate so..**

**Then I made a fading attempt of colors with continued applying of paint with less paint loaded brush**

**Then now I started drawing the meant to be buildings**

**Everything was doing great up until this part**

**Then I started adding more lines, those random lines were supposed to do a sketchy background effect, it still looks decent here**

**Then I started to fail here.**

I tried to apply opaque colors but it didn't fleshed out.

Then I quit here.

I do not know if I should had just let the canvass dry completely first before doing the opaque part. I'll just try again tomorrow so stay tuned!
