Actors: Viridian, Quinacridone red, Hansa yellow, Ivory black, and Titanium white
When I was thinking about characters for painting, I thought of four elements, and looked into Wikipedia and I found it was the ancient Greek and Roman belief that everything is made of four elements, such as earth, water, air and fire.
I used the colors above mixing to act as earth, water, air, and fire with no playscript. I picked up the colors that I have avoided to use, which were viridian, and black. I focused on mixing viridian with others, but next time I would like to pay more attention to gray and black.
