What I like about the adult puzzle is it is really hard. The picture has lots of variations of the same or similar blue. It is kind of fun to put a puzzle together of a painting that you did. I had flash backs of: “oh, that’s got to be where he is standing because I went a little more green in that blue there” moments. You know?
What does a giraffe look like? I need an apple for a practice technique. What kinds of coral are in the ocean and which shapes do I like best? These are just some of the times in the recent past I’ve searched for reference photos on Google.
Maybe there was a chart of some kind that told you what colors were warm and which were cool and that everyone else had just been taught to memorize a list—like memorizing your times tables—-so they just knew and they didn’t have to figure it out every single time they reached for a tube of paint.
