Between these two different paintings (each in its own stage of development) exists the "next step", namely going from the oil sketch to the finished work. Maintaining freshness and sponteneity.

So what is this "Next Step?." Frankly, I would like to know. Mostly it is hard work and painting, paying close attention to value: very subtle changes in value within the same hue is the challenge, namely, how to make these changes visible so they provide structure, texture, and glue (cohesion) to the composition.
Moreover, this is the subject of an upcoming workshop in August. As I prepare for that workshop, I will be posting notes on this blog.
