...AND THAT WAY
If things aren't crystal clear after flipping the painting upside down, I really tap into my "right brain thinking" with the following...
I stand with my back to the easel and view the upside down painting in a mirror...example below.
How is the composition now?
If you view the reference material now too, you can often spot exactly what you need to do to "get a likeness."
