Those are beautiful colors to compose with. Just put the teal and pink down in a few graceful sweeps and compose and balance from there.

* Landscape: Sunset over the water, or a forest done in blue instead of green
* Closeup of a flower, like Georgia O'Keefe. Take a photograph, even black and white, and just redo the color scheme, where the blues are the leaves and the pink/orange/yellow are the flower features you want to highlight.
Since yellow and blue are opposites, and red-orange and teal, these will naturally serve as contrast in place of black vs. white.
You may want to use a color wheel -- when I did a painting in plain blue/pink/lavender, there was no contrast. So my art teacher used a color wheel to add accents in "blue-green/turquoise" and "red-orange" I didn't understand why, but when I did this, all the contrast started to pop!
You can see the difference it made at:

This watercolor was done based on two black and white drawings of an origami peace crane, spliced together at two different angles.
So if you are not sure what to paint, I suggest the same idea where you take a photo or image you like and then re-colorize it with the paints you have. This is a good exercise to focus on balancing the colors, and not worrying about the subject or composition which is already laid out for you.
Good luck and have fun!

Interesting challenge. I should try it sometime. First anything your heart desires. actually I would sit down and consider my options. #1 with the colors you have I personally try sunset at a beach or even sunrise #2 You might have things around your house or apartment with those or close to those colors to do a Still Life painting #3 let your mind go WILD and try abstract or a modern art. For an example a artist painted the soles of a couples shoes and they danced a waltz on a canvas in various colors. But whatever you do always give it a K.I.S.S. {keep it simple stupid} no offense take care and good luck

anything. just mix the available colors to get proper values. if you can get the intervals of lightness and darkness somewhat right, you can get a very realistic image, even if your painting people that are pink and teal. after all, this is how psychedellic paintings work. (wrong colors, correct values)

Why not use your vibrant colors to compose an abstract painting? All of those colors will work well when placed next to one another. Abstract paintings are interesting and if you have never painted one, it might be a fun process for you!

I suggest making ocean paintings or possibly mixing the colors to make new ones.

You can paint anything with those colors. Think outside the box! Skin color doesn't necessarily have to be "tan" or "creamy".....one artist (I can't think of his name for some reason) painted mostly in different shades of blue.
Good luck!

with those colors you could probably pick Claude Monet's lillies
and such.

Go to an arts school (and ask)
