PROBLEM-SOLVING HINTS
1. Look at your
painting upside down to see shapes, not subjects.
2. Look at your
painting in a mirror to see the work with a fresh eye.
3. Examine your
painting in a black mirror (a pane of glass painted black on one side) . The reflection
will Knock down the color and help you see values.
4. Squint. It softens
the scene so you see large, important shapes with less detail.
5. If you're having a
hard time seeing a color or value in a scene, look next to that color, not
right at it.
6. Look at your
painting from a distance, or use a reducing glass, to see the
large, important masses.
7. In the studio, try
not to get too comfortable or too close to the canvas, which limits your
brushstrokes. Stand up while painting. It allows more freedom of arm movement.
8. use a viewfinder
when searching for a composition (a mat board with a
rectangular opening works fine) to block out confusing, unwanted areas.
