Knowing when to stop...I heard or read somewhere that you only start learning when to stop when you push everything as far as you can and ruin many paintings. Not stated as eloquently but..I used to have a tendency to stop too soon because I started to fear 'messing it up'. Now I see the value of going beyond that.

Because really, how many scientists do you know playing around with dioramas? I actually worried about filling the entire background and worked at trying to leave a space for Dan to fill. But nothing really seemed natural enough so I hogged the whole thing!

Wow...what a flash back...he seems kind of cheap now! I think he'd be the billion dollar man now.) Anyway, I don't want you to be afraid to take chances and do something crazy like cutting away something...because that will make me afraid and then other crazy things won't get a chance to happen along the way. I like the chance you took. If something goes REALLY horribly wrong we could always collage over it or maybe add some acrylic. Be daring!<br />And no, sorry, no lessons. I wish though!

The painting is excellent! I am tossing away any thought that I am going to treat this like any sketchbook to keep it moving. No. This is intimidating and challenging - the bar has been raised high, very very high. Wow. I am glad you've given me some time to think about what to put on the next page. I am quaking in my boots! Raena, you have been practicing, yes. But did you take lessons?!<br /><br />As for your sweater story, it is the same thing that happened with me with the boys arm (which I hate more than ever now and to me it it seems to stand out like a sore thumb against everything else!) If we learn nothing more than when to stop, this sketchbook will be worth it. Of course it is worth it anyway, and I am honored to be doing this exchange with you. Yeah, Raena!!Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378383011800203612.post-90093715387554380142014-02-09T15:50:32.771-08:002014-02-09T15:50:32.771-08:00Brilliant!!!
