So following up on the jumpstart idea, I decided to paint an acrylic figure, on paper, in a very bold expressive fashion. I had no reference photo so I just invented the figure and I am sure it is not really factual but it did end up looking porcelain and stately and these were my goals. I limited myself to pure pigments and set the timer for 1 hour. Please don’t shoot me I am only the messenger. Sorry for the lack of focus on the camera, I shot these without a tripod and it is hard to not shake when the image is vertical and big. 
Very Bold and it worked! Like it a lot!
