The importance of preliminary sketching…
It helps work out the kinks and disproportions before getting into paint. My creative process requires a good bit of reflective thinking and reconsideration. Sometimes ideas flow quickly without glitches and sometimes my brain gets in a tangle on the way to an end point. I had to take a step back from this head shot and think about the nose…too long, and the mandible…not just right. All things that will be corrected in the painting.
