PAINTING PROCESS
To save yourself a lot of time and heartache develop a good procedural painting process. In general if you're painting especially if your painting traditionally you should be moving from:
1.Background to foreground
2.Thin to thick*
3.Dark to light.*
*Step 2 & 3 are linked together: Shadows should remain thin and transparent light area are light and opaque.
4.Warm to cool: Start warmer, its easier to cool warm colors than to warm cool colors. White will serve best to cool your warms as you work towards a finish.
• In a traditional painting Ere on the side of Dark and using less white to avoid a "chalky" painting.
• In a traditional painting Remember to paint FAT OVER LEAN:
----LEAN: Less Oil (Turps, Mediums and non oil based paint).
----FAT: Oil paint and slow drying mediums.
