Finishing a painting and how it is consistent with its middle and start
In response to Dan

QUESTIONS: You have mentioned that in the start one should be all over the place at once. Bunker was quoted as saying you should keep preparing your canvas and one day you’ll come in and find it’s done. My question is do you essentially follow the same procedure on the second, third, fourth, &etc. sessions, proceeding as with the start but at each session thereafter simply keep refining key areas (not staying in one area to long) until you’ve accomplished what you were after at the start?

Can you speak to the concept of working all over the place at once versus working section by section ( area by area- for some- object by object) . Does this change from the establishment of the start ( covering a larger area) to higher levels of finish ( spending more time with specifics)? Is this based on practical ( wet in wet) and visual ( hierarchy of importance) concerns? DAN
