Great painting session tonight! I found the key to painting well for me, take my time, focus and take breaks. Now if I can only remember that all the time.
Long day at work, and a late start on the painting tonight so I will keep this short. Take your freaking time! Cause when you do, your paintings turn out 1 million times better. I’m so happy with my performance tonight. I took my time, I even set a timer and took a break every thirty minutes.
I think the breaks were the most useful, it forced me to take my time, to setup away. I don’t know why I get in such a rush, I think its because of all the amazing artists I see and for some reason I put their speed of painting over everything.
I forget that they have had years of steady slow painting that gave them that speed. I also made an awesome glass palette tonight, holy cow the glass and the grey background I used makes mixing painting super fun, its almost heavenly.
I took my time with the drawing, and guess what, its almost perfect. I found the key, I just need to remember it.
I’m a bit dark above the apple, and light to the left of the cup and apple. I will correct these with the continuation of this painting tomorrow.
