How To Stop Overworking Your Paintings

I go on a plein air painting adventure to paint some roses, disaster strikes and I have to take it back to the studio, but unfortunately along the way I discover the truth about overworking your paintings. It’s easy to do and today we’ll talk about how to learn the lessons a painting has to teach you and how you can learn to avoid overworking your paintings. If you're new here my name is Danny Sabra. I am a self taught artist. I do a lot of #oilpainting, #pleinairpainting, #gouache and #watercolor painting, urban sketching, #penandink drawing and many other things! I upload tips on #paintingforbeginners and other subjects related to art and creativity. I like to do #landscapepainting, plein air, alla prima, as well as portraits of people and animal portraits. I believe every person has a creative voice that matters. and my goal is to empower everyone to share their creativity with the world!

I love these roses Danny! Can't wait to watch!

[@DannySabraArt]

Thanks Jackie! I hope you enjoy

[@cdsketch]

Exactly! that’s the game we play though. stop too early and it could’ve been better, too late and you’ll ‘ruin’ it. Great vid and love the texture!

[@DannySabraArt]

Thanks man. Yeah it's tough! i feel like I often quit too early, but this one got out of control haha!

[@steamyb2]

I've heard that we learn from failures, so yea, I'm a genius! Just don't quit!

[@DannySabraArt]

Haha. You and me both!

Nice painting. But omg! Those roses- that was heartbreaking to see them change so dramatically after just one day! That is the thing about plein air. As far as overworking, I was so sad when you completely covered your first layer. It had such gorgeous colors. I still think the painting is beautiful- and yes, perhaps next time limiting your experimentation to only one or two techniques or tools would be more wise. I also really loved the texture from the acrylic impasto underwater.

[@DannySabraArt]

Thanks so much. I totally agree. I should’ve shown more restraint and when things weren’t working maybe wiped timings down, strategized and tried again. I was really trying to develop form without losing color but I didn’t really think things through and just keep trying over and over. I think there are things to like about it in the end and I probably could finesse it some more but I think this is one where it’s best to learn the lessons and move on. I agree about the texture! I want to do that more!

Ciao! 😀 Ma lo sai che mi hai fatto venire in mente, una lettura che ho fatto di recente su una tecnica antica? La cera nei colori ad olio, la usavano i pittori di Firenze nel 1800. La cera la usavano sia nell'imprimitura, sia nella pittura, perché con la cera i dipinti ad olio, resistevano di più nel tempo 🙂 P. S. Il momento giusto per smettere di dipingere è quando ci sono abbastanza pennellate morbide e pennellate dure insieme 🙂 Facci caso🙂 Bellissimo esperimento! 😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@DannySabraArt]

È davvero interessante! Usare la cera fredda è stato davvero divertente. Potrei usarlo di nuovo qualche volta.

[@pamelasaralliartista]

@@DannySabraArt Certo! 😀😊👍🏻
