Sometimes spending hours on a painting can create an overworked and sterile image. As I say to my students, “adding detail will not make your painting better or more convincing.” The most important things to achieve are to create accurate values. It’s also crucial to focus on colour and edge handling. For me this was a good example of knowing when to stop a painting. The painting was finished in one sitting and as a result has character and life. The paint is applied thickly and confidently. There is texture and immediacy to it. Does it need any more detail? For me, it has told its story. The lack of detail is evident in this painting, yet it still conveys atmosphere and character.
