I recently read an article by a representational painter on another blog, in which the writer said that one should very carefully and thoroughly plan one’s paintings. Â My first thought was, “No waaaaay!” Â That would take all the fun out the process of discovery that, for me at least, is a great deal of what painting is about. Â Feeling a little smug, I thought of the following much-loved quote:
You are lost the instant you know what the result will be. – Juan Gris
