I decided to re-do the faces on my journal page. The first ones seemed too long, and just not my style. I really like taking a chance to re-do something and keep working on it until its what you want. Don't be afraid to keep painting, and painting over what you don't like. Another tip I have is to wait to the next day and look at your art with fresh eyes. Sometimes getting away from it for a little while helps you decide what you need to change or revise. This is created in my new journal from Strathmore. Happy painting!
I couldn't agree with you more on both topics. I used to be so afraid to put something down, until I realized that everything can be fixed if I don't like it. And that's exactly what I do when I'm struggling with a piece--put it away until the next day--what a difference that makes!
ReplyDeleteI recently had that experience with a chair I'm working on...I had to cover up what I had done twice! But in the end, I'm so happy that I did...because now it's just right. :-)
ReplyDeleteI too agree with you on both topics, these pages look really good!
ReplyDeleteI love these pages...their faces are great.

ReplyDeleteYa..it's true how artist shouldn't be afraid of painting, repainting and just keep playing until the painting tells you to stop.
