We get better at analyzing what is important to us.
We can nearly finish a painting in our head.
We can gather information without a brush in our hand.
We can get the most out of our field studies by comparing them to what we remember: studying, analyzing and deconstructing them---(what we learned at the feet of nature.) This gives us more clarity both in the studio and the next time we go out.
Clarity saves time and helps to create more powerful paintings.
We can finish our studies away from the subject better, or if conditions change.
We won’t let photographs screw up a good start… in most cases we won’t need them, and if we feel that we do, we know how to use them.
We can also develop our memory of the great paintings we see in museums, and teach ourselves in the same manner as in front of nature.
