Hamaliel, Angel of Virgo - Detail Phase
Added 2017-07-15 02:54:45 +0000 UTCSpending today tightening up all the issues I've been having with this painting has been both difficult and a relief. It reminds me why I sometimes have a hard time getting to work. I gave up on trying to record the complete painting process because I feel like these issues are best resolved when I feel safe and unobserved. Somehow, after all the time, I still feel like fixing little problems with anatomy and perspective are somehow a secret shame that I need to hide.
There is a point in a painting when I feel like the piece is "solved". All the elements are in alignment, except for the smaller more precise marks that need to be made. At that point, I no longer need to draw on my creative reserves. It's just all zen from here on out.
