WATCH HOW THE PAINTING HAPPENS

1. First, watch the whole replay. Write down the main composition and where your eye lands.
2. Next, pause after the broad shapes appear. Identify the background, subject and large value areas.
3. Finally, study the later strokes. Note which details strengthen the composition and which changes alter the mood.
4. Compare the early, middle and final stages. Keep an observation separate from any claim about what the model intended.

Composition and focal point: ____________________
Early colour/value blocks: ____________________
Most useful later change: ____________________
A stage that worked better than the final version: ____________________
One technique to try in my own experiment: ____________________

1. Pick your own subject and a limited palette. Make a simple sequence with large shapes before detail.
2. If sharing a project image or replay, check its license and credit the original creator appropriately.
