No one told me how hard it is to paint with real color

I found it really really hard, at one point i tried to look for the undo button... 😩
I started art with pencil and graphite drawings and then i took interest in digital, so went directly for that. Recently I wanted to try painting with real color like acrylic color. So, i bought some more(I had three already). I bought what i found. I think they are fabric colors and i dont know the difference between what a painting color would be like.

The painting is of my grandfather, by the way. He passed away about 12 years ago. So, when i was like 10ish?
At that time taking photographs was really really rare. Taking photographs were like a family festival. And there was no chance of taking too many photos because printing them cost even more.

We didn't have any photographs of my grandfather, just a stamp size one that he took for a visa so he could go to neighbor country for medical treatment.

I took that photo, and tried to make a bigger size painting of him. It didn't came out that great though.

I didn't have that thing that artists' use for mixing colors so i used two saucer and a bunch of makeup brushes.... one of them is i think a painting brush. not sure....
