How do you get over the tedium of doing this while painting?
I've been trying to get into acrylic painting forever but am always turned off, as paint mixing and washing the brush after every colour probably takes up more time than actually painting.
Use a limited pallet.

aaaaanndd you should spend a good amount of time preparing your palette.
It sucks, and I hate doing it, but mixing certain skin colors and temperature variances off of it, mixing greens and browns before hand is suuuper helpful.
Try just using Zorn's palette for a while.
Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red Medium, Ivory Black plus Titanium White.
