Trial and Error? -412

[@SkjtheartistJamison]

Today's chat was immensely interesting Paul, lots for everyone to pick up on. I'm glad to say I'm feeling a bit better than expected having started treatment yesterday.

YES!

That's a big one for me ! I often fall into the trap of "pushing the shapes around all day long" with my drawing staying in the stage of height to width with many sporadic marks here and there. Still figuring out how to actually observe 'the whole' and see the 'visual concepts' (and fit those observations onto paper without moving them too often) :) I haven't watched the video yet but I guess my problem is solved through trial and error ;) Thanks, Paul and Mr. Producer!

Hi Paul thanks again for clarifying the way I work When I was working in water colour or pastel on velour (velvet paper),and needed to frame them I would get out all of my coloured mount boards and by trial and error find the best of the available choices is it a red or blue,green if green is blueish better or yellowish etc until I had none left to try and the final one it was on must be the best of the available choices. Since I found you I have applied my paint to the canvas the same way as you say naming the pig and trying to control all the horses and when they are out of control then back to the trial and error is the answer yes or no? When it's a yes it's a holding place if the yes is correct it stays if not it changes to the next yes. Only when I have no more yes or no things I can ask I know that the painting has gone as far as I can take it at this moment my level of understanding at this stage of my journey. I can't say that I paint in the Boston school way as I'm not part of that schooling but I can now say that I paint in the trial and error way. This is the 3rd time of writing this comment so it may not be as clear as the first sorry for it being long. Thanks again enjoyed this one. Sheila

Very clear, Sheila. Problem solving for any way of working, yes.

I caught the comment about using the best words for what you're trying to make. I assume this must be another part of the trial-and-error speculation model...

[@PaulIngbretson]

I didn't review the comment but probably more related to the 'conceptualizing' part.
