• Pacifying and smoother transitions and liven up shadows
• Taking time to just think and observe
• Not letting things outcompete the expression
• Employing diagonal composition
• Messing things up & then improving it!
• Accepting that it takes a while to "warm up"
• Fusing a soft totality with sudden, decisive marks
• Understanding your priorities
• How the background can underline the mood
• Hjalmar's love for Öde, the model
• Getting an expression, not just likeness
• The importance of geometry
