How taking time on the initial planning can be the difference between a successful piece and an unsuccessful piece Taking time to plan, can save you time in the long run Asking the opinions of others if you are unsure If it’s a still life, try arranging and rearranging your initial set-up and photographing in lots of different ways Take photos and use a grid to determine your focal points Crop your photo in various ways to see what works best Draw thumbnail sketches Look for an overall shape that flows Aim for various angles and not too many of one Sometimes offsetting something so it’s on a third can help Tara talks about the commission she did where sherealised that not having an initial sketch in this particular painting, had her having to do it three times Sandra talk about the aha moment when they had our chat, that there were too many verticals and they needed breaking upSupport us on Kofi
