This is the sixth post in this study. The next–final–post will be about the finished painting.<\/p>\n

I have finished my initial plan of attack. I always a have a goal when I start out, and I know when I’ve reached it when everything is in its place. Often, the road is circuitous as I uncover things I don’t like. Sometimes I discover something that leads me in an unforeseen direction. Even when things go well, getting everything in place is challenging: things can be uniform and undramatic, or stick out and cause confusion.<\/p>\n

\"Unfinished<\/a>
Unfinished stage of The Call 2\/2\/2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What remains to be done is the wealth of details. Some artists work the details out beforehand, I prefer to leave areas undefined so I can better react to what has come before. My initial plans always have undefined areas. The challenge with details is to not over work them.<\/p>\n

Here is a detail of the same area I reproduced in the last post in this series. You can see some of the details add life to a work. perhaps you can see areas that need more work (such as her forearm). My eye always goes to the unfinished and unrealized.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, as I work them further, the details will enhance the painting’s liveliness without drawing undue attention.<\/p>\n
