Mid Process







At this point the drill becomes a welcomed discipline. Start thin to thick, work dark to light, mass to detail. These things are expected and come with their level of frustration and forgiveness. But now in Mid-process I wonder if I have enough time. Reason being is because of my "Romanticism" objective I am not sure it will be as polished as I would like it.

I know I have an issue with use of colour, and for this I will have to henceforth buckle down in future projects and really make many notes until it becomes second nature. But I have fears of mixing one colour at the start of a piece and then having to cover it with a completely new colour at the end. This obstacle comes really with rich, dark colours. Where on mixing them on palette and adding them to canvas, when it eventually dries it does not correspond to what I have. Especially as my "style" borders on the subtle changes, I fear that I would undo any such work with a wrong colour.

But I guess this process will have to yield to the expectation of colour errors and having to go back and fix said problems is now just a part of my process.
My own expectations will always be higher than what I get, mostly because I believe that through stretching myself I get allot more of my potential than I would normally.
