The painting you critiqued was completed in about 2 hours tops, it is 8"x10." I will take your suggestions and work longer on some of the paintings so that I may produce more successful formal works. I have been working under the "daily painting" custom, trying to complete small paintings in an hour or less. The one you examined was one of the larger "small" daily paintings I have done recently. If you look on my blog, today I posted a painting I did last summer that I put some extra time into...on and off for a week. I have only been painting each day for a couple hours in the morning, maybe three hours a day at the most, usually on and off. I am hoping to extend that amount of time now in my life, because I do see the daily practice only gets me just so far in developing a formal image. I must begin to spend larger blocks of time on one piece in order to produce larger better developed works. I do hope to make it into some galleries over the next year or so with larger more serious canvases. What do you think of the daily painting custom, and do you think following that custom can help me "ramp up" to producing larger formal works of art? Maybe I have placed too much confidence in this custom and must alter my strategy.....I so see the wisdom in your suggestions to spend longer amounts of time on a work.Sandra Galdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989680552639630289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-24335454347899393662009-05-06T21:02:00.000-04:002009-05-06T21:02:00.000-04:00Sandra
Thank you:
I always wait anxiously ...Sandra<br /> Thank you:<br /> I always wait anxiously to hear back from folks I crit. I am always afraid I am going to flip them out. It doesn't haoppen much any more, but you cant keep it from ever happening.<br /> Perhaps you should do a painting every day, every other day. Do you work all day long in your studio? If so, how about working a half day on one, and then a half day on another, the next day do it again. Even if you are not actually putting more hours into the same painting, they may be better considered.Perhaps you could stretch out and put several days into a painting every third canvas? Monet returned multiple days to make paintings and his came out OK.<br /> ...StapeStapleton Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226409516935208164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-33948589048623831762009-05-06T20:20:00.000-04:002009-05-06T20:20:00.000-04:00Jeremy:

Could you please tell me what are the important factors or points etc. that you are looking for every time you judge a painting. What are the top three things you look for every time in a painting that you are judging. I believe that with your answer it will help me to focus on these key points as I paint. I am getting ready to be judged by a few associations this year and I would like to know what the judges are looking for when I submit 5 paintings at a time of my work.<br /><br />JAMESJAMES A.

It sure beats an instructor grabbing your brush and running roughshod over your work. Putting the head back on the fellow in the picture was a good idea. Thanks.

I have been reading this over and over. I am so grateful for your blog! Thank you so very much. I do find I place too much emphasis on completing a small work for the daily painting blog, (this was one of the daily works for the blog) that I rush and do not carefully observe. I particularly find the hot and cold advice about the lighting here intriguing, I see the need for so much change now! You are an amazing teacher!Sandra Galdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989680552639630289noreply@blogger.com
