Study topics include:Ideas- Is there a good abstract idea underlying the picture?- What details could be eliminated to strengthen the composition?- Does the painting have a focus?- Are the unessential parts subbordinated?- Does the painting \"read\"?- Could you finish any part of the painting?Shapes- Are the dominant shapes as strong and simple as possible?- Are the shapes too similiar?Value- Could the value range be increased?- Could the number of values be reduced?Light- Is the subject effectively lit?- Is the light area big enough?- Would the light look stronger with a suggestion of burnout?- Do the lights have a continuous flow?- Is the light gradiated?Shadows- Do the shadow shapes describe the form?- Are the shadows warm enough?Depth- Would the addition of foreground material deepen the space?- Does the background recede far enough?- Are the halftones properly related to the background?Solidity- Is the underlying form being communicated?- Is the symmetry in perspective?Color- Is there a color strategy?- Could a purer color be used?- Do the whites have enough color in them?- Are the colors overbended on the canvas?- would the color look brighter if it were saturated into its adjacent area?Paint- Is your palette efficiently organized?- Is the painting surface too absorbent?- Are you using the palette knife as much as you could?- Are you painting lines when you should be painting masses?- Are the edges dynamic enough?- Is there enough variation in the texture of the paint?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUsed Book in Good Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49670359154928,"sku":"NEW0823044084","price":50.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/problem-solving-for-oil-painters-by-kreutz-gregg","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
