Update: The paint finally dried and I've seasoned my palette. I've also been working on some other stuff, and I saw a comment on a YouTube video that a simple depiction of a lemon made by a professor was the best thing the commenter had ever seen, and more than a hundred people agreed with her. I've held a paintbrush less than two hours and painted this in about 45 seconds. Is painting that hard for some people?

>Stop wasting your time
Anon, calm the fuck down. That exercise took thirty minutes and I bought more paint in the meantime. It's not like there's a bomb about to explode.
>Learn to properly gesso a surface and you can use anything to paint on. I recommend cheapo mdf boards, prime sand and gesso yourself
I have stacks of leftover unused canvas from people who went through painting phases and I got a large roll of acrylic primed canvas for fifteen bucks.
>I recommend a cheap pochade box (dyi if you cant find any)
This was my plan. I've been looking up blueprints that people have given out and I should be able to go outside and paint with one in at least a month. If I can make it fit a glass cutting board I bought (don't ask), then that'd be perfect.
