It is impossible to draw/paint in acrylics as with drawing ink...

I am wondering what motive to paint next. I am tired of the interior pictures at the moment. So I searched among my old works. And I tried to make something of these two old flowers drawn with some strange pencil and black drawing ink.

It is impossible to make / draw lines with acrylics similar to those drawn with drawing ink, black or sepia. There the coincidence is working all the time. What is coincidence and what is the level of your skills and maybe your hand very shivering even if you are not so old.


I bought even some new colors in acrylics and then I tested the colors red, yellow, blue and green with the drawings of these flowers. Especially the green color is completely, horrible difficult. So here are the colors not mixed with anything else than probably some titanic white and tiny drops of some ochre or sepia or even some cadmium orange... 

In the red and yellow paintings I did not leave the white areas next to lines but painted over the whole painting some light red and light yellow mixed with water. Maybe the works did not get better of this but effected the colors drawn first. 






       
I am trying and searching for ways to paint but I have no idea what I am trying and searching... To think doesn't help when you don't know how to use the acrylic paint or really any paint at all. If I knew I      could probably call myself an artist... that I for sure am not... I even don't have some 'own thing' as real artists should have... so don't judge me too hard...                                                                                                                                                      
The size of these acrylics is A3.
