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.
