When I get close to finishing a painting I'm pretty much moving all over the canvas as I find areas that need to be addressed. Today I put in the main characters, and filled in the background trees a touch more. Improved the meeting line for the background woods and the background field. The closer to done I get the easier it is to see what's wrong. Until I finish the second 'block-in" I'm not certain its correct and usually end up futzing a bit. When starting out, a painter is on their own because there is nothing to relate your colors, values, shapes, proportions etc.... From here its all finishing work.
