Knowing THE STAGES OF A PAINTING gives you a roadmap so you won’t get stuck
When people get stuck in their work it's usually because they are trying to do something when they're not ready or asking the wrong questions at the wrong time in the development of the work.
Once they know at what stage they're at with the work and what they should be focusing on then they know what questions to ask.
For example, if you're at the beginning stage of a painting you don't start analysing whether you've got the colours right, or whether the design is strong. Those are questions for later.
In this week's Vlog I demonstrate what to focus on at the various stages of developing a painting.
Producing A Group of Paintings Together Makes The BEST Artwork
If I could tell you the ONE thing that improved my work the most - this is it. Working on a group of paintings together improves results because what you learn in one painting can be directly applied to others. In this video, I show you how I do this by using 5 paintings in mid-process to demonstrate how ideas can be applied to multiple works and how my paintings took big leaps forward as a result.
