INVEST IN YOUR JUDGEMENTS

A study exercise in better discrimination.  Reviewing old paintings that were hopefully examples  "failing forward" :),  I will make a list of everything I can think of that might improve the first version.  When past work has sat in the "oh well" pile for a long enough period of time, bringing it out for close evaluation can be surprising.  What makes it work best for me is doing the study again with a punch list of the things I want to work on.  Like: composition, eye-path, light/dark pattern, focus, color, values…  You get the idea.  Don't just do the mental exercise, invest in your judgements, and paint with a purpose.
