Understanding how.
I just wonder if it is possible to do anything right if one do not understand the nature of it.?
I am of cause talking about artworks, but it could be any craft for that matter.
When I paint I am always aware of the marks I make with the brush. Sometimes I take chances and do some hazardous strokes, but I am, most of the time, conscious about what I am doing and where I want to go.
I often find that the fastest way is to carefully calculate how to apply the next stroke in stead of fussing around.
"The next stroke" can be a larger area to be painted in some kind of structure that requires action and bold strokes, but they still have to be considered beforehand or it will often be a vast of time and paint.
One have to be conscious.
That is also the case if I want to critique another artists work, I guess.
Whenever I try to say something about another forum members work, in progress, I try to understand the state of the work and imagine what I would do myself to improve that work.
