Co-sign on the never-zero. Two tweaks that helped me stick it: set both a floor and a ceiling for the first month (floor = 5–10 minutes ceiling = stop while you still want more) and use the “never miss twice” rule so a bad day doesn’t become a bad week so yeah... i also let any purposeful movement count toward the streak at first, like a brisk 15-minute walk and and built in one planned rest day to avoid the all-or-nothing trap.
Hi Mika. Start with a 12-tube student grade medium body set with good lightfastness and a non toxic seal and including a strong white, warm and cool primaries, and a couple of earth tones.
Use tubes with palette paper, a lidded water cup, and a mister, and work from a limited palette while testing mixes on a scrap for clean, accurate results.
