We all get stuck with a painting sometimes, and it can be incredibly frustrating. But how can we use a simple, logical system to push through it.
Even if we do push through and finish a painting, it may still not work, not be successful in ours or we simple don't like it. It can make us feel like we can't paint when we get stuck in a painting like this; but how can we learn from each painting so our future ones are more successful?
Whether stuck during a painting and needing a way through, or looking for a way to analyse our painting when its done, with a view to progressing with the next one, going through the tick list of the 5 basic principles of painting can really help. Plus a cheeky little extra two at the end.
I really hope me showing how I got stuck with this watercolour painting, and more importantly how I got through this and more importantly still, what i took away from this painting, will in turn really help you.
Thanks for watching!
