I tried a new approach for my last art show.
Normally, I'll trace out 2 paintings at a time, then paint them as a pair.
When they are done I'll evaluate what I have, then use what I've learned on the next pair of paintings.
There are two problems I often have with this approach:
The main one is I don't enjoy the tracing process so I always try to put it off so it can ruin my flow while I'm working.
The second problem I run into is the first painting in a show will look like it belongs in my last show, and the last painting I do looks like it belongs in my next show, and I want to have a sense of consistency in a body of work.
This time around, I traced all 15 paintings up front. I did a bunch of sketches and rough work and samples ahead of time, then tarted tackling all the paintings all at once.
