The more I work on this painting the more I feel as if I don’t know what I’m doing.
THE DAILY ARTIST
The more I work on this painting the more I feel as if I don’t know what I’m doing.
I felt like I may have destroyed this painting after the session but as I edit the image… It’s not so bad.
I spent more time refining the drawing and defining some idea of shadow shapes before starting painting.
I’m so happy with the study of this painting that I’ve taken it straight to the larger canvas.
My problem is that I start new paintings without focusing deeply on motive first.
I’m on to a new painting after painting over the last two. This is taking my art into a brand new direction.
