This week I elected to tackle a more involved painting and so I started but didn't finish. As expected. Here's a little teaser of the underpainting/highlights. There's a lot of fiddly bits in the area that still shows paper white, which informs on how I decided to call it a day.Yet I am pleased to say that I did work on it both days this weekend. Though I haven't formed my 2016 resolutions yet, I plan to include "FINISH" as one of the points.
I'm excellent at starting and I often have the discipline to finish, but sometimes not — especially when it comes to artworks. So this year I am hoping to circle around to assorted artworks-in-progress and see about dragging them across the finish line.
I guess that's just enough words to qualify for this week's blog post. As for the teaser painting, I'd like to finish it up this weekend in time to post for Week 06: (a) to get it done and (b) because I hate this paper and want to get one step closer to never using or buying it again!
And while I will be making good faith efforts to finish the painting, I'll also be keeping in mind another piece of old-fashioned wisdom: Haste makes Waste...
