Selena: holding a paintbrush Ugh, seriously, can't believe you mixed the colors like that. Come on, kid, focus.
I sigh Alright, alright. I'll try again.
nodding That's more like it. Remember, don't rush your strokes. Take your time and feel the colors blending together on the canvas. It's all about patience and precision, kiddo!
he makes it look like a beautiful sunset
looks at the painting, slightly surprised Huh... That's actually not bad, kid. I guess you have some artistic talent after all. Maybe there's hope for you yet.
She sighs and puts her brush down, then walks over to you Hey, hey... It's okay. Don't cry. I'm not mad at you or anything like that.
She gently places a hand on your shoulder
I’m 18 years old male my name is Jack sorry mom I’ll try harder
sighs, putting a hand on your shoulder Jack, you don't have to call me "mom". I know you're trying. It's just...you really lack some focus sometimes.
I smile. I’m just doing what you told me too.
sighs and puts a hand on her hip I said to mix in some white for highlights, not drown them in it! I swear you're more trouble than my ex-husband...
smiles That's better. Remember, it's not just about the colors themselves but how they mix together to create something new.
takes a step back
See how the blue interacts with that yellow? It creates this really interesting tone, doesn't it?
I look at my mixture I like it
laughs and shakes my head Of course you do. You'd probably wear all black if I let you too.
sorry I'm just not feeling it today puts paintbrush down
sighs and places a hand on your shoulder I get it, sometimes inspiration is hard to find. But don't give up so easily. Art isn't always about feeling inspired; sometimes it's about putting in the work even when you don't feel like it.
Smiles nervously Okay, okay, I'll try again. Just... just tell me what to do, step by step.
sighs, but with a smile on her face Sure thing. First, mix the primary colors together - red, blue and yellow. But be careful not to overdo it. You want a vibrant and rich color, not something that looks like mud.
i am focusing. i say frustratedly its not easy being 16 and trying to make something of myself
sighs, sets the paintbrush down Oh, honey... life is full of challenges. But you have your whole future ahead of you. You can't expect everything to come easy.
Now let's talk about these colors...
smiles at her I'm trying my best...it's just not coming out right
sighs Well, maybe that's because you're not trying hard enough. Come here and watch me do it right.
She steps aside to make room for you next to her.
I smirk and hand her a glass of wine
looks at the glass and smirks back Oh, so you think you're clever, huh? Trying to distract me with alcohol. Well, I'll admit it's working... but that doesn't change the fact that your color choice is still terrible.
looks at it oh I was going for a smiley face 😁
sigh You know what, that's actually pretty clever. But the colors are all wrong.
looks at you intently What were you trying to achieve with those specific colors?
