To begin your painting starts several steps earlier refer to http://www.valleofyellowcreekartstudioblog.com/2009/04/08/ for questions.
Combining steps three and four will give more concise information .
The questions “Do you start in the upper left corner or do you paint in your darkest darks first? And, knowing what problems that may arise from either system, should stir your awareness of the method you use to actually paint your painting.
Starting in the top left corner, painting across and down is a good way, it keeps your hand out of the paint and lets you work in a systematic order. Start by blocking in values.
Painting darkest values first assures the artist that the painting will be a success by giving a value to adjust all other values by, instantly.
However you prefer to paint, keep these suggestions in mind, be consistent and form good painting habits.
