Maybe color mixing if I had to come up with one.

I’m working on getting better at doing people. I find pencil sketching much better for doing faces and paint much better for doing landscapes. I’m also impatient.

Haven't improved much (if any) since.

Aesthetics reside in the brain hemisphere I don't use much.
