First, I get an idea. . . sunflowers!
Second, I look through my photos. . . sunflowers, where are they, I know I have some good ones, AHA, right under the category of florals.
Third, I attach a hanger, write a name and inventory number on the back, list it on the inventory list. . . Sunflower, Orange Sunflower (clever, eh?)
Fourth, I start painting. . . oh boy, this is sort of complex. Does it matter if I actually include every single petal?
Fifth, I paint again. . . okay, this is starting to look possible.
Now it is better than before. And it will continue to improve.
Improvement in my book means more detail, greater contrast, more accuracy.
