Why on earth do I insist on making things that need to be painted (at least in part) -- why do I do it to myself -- why don't I just get collaborators to do the painting? Gah. I struggle with it so much.
Today I tried to add color to the really long horns guy. The painting is just a mess...I will need to start over I think. Then I used paper for the base layer on the horns, thinking I may touch them up with paint or a wash of some sort and painted details. What is wrong with me?

| two colors on hand |

| two colors on other hand |
 |
| trying to do something around his eyes |
 |
| and then it spread out all over his face |
 |
| I don't know...I just don't know. |
 |
| I like this color of mulberry paper for a base layer on the horns...now to tear the paper into tiny pieces. |
