it’s critical to know when to paint and when not. it’s not a mechanical process; it’s a very organic one. whicvh color, which brush or oil stick…they’re all dependent on that fugitive 6th sense, so that all the variables and potential align, sometimes for minutes; sometimes longer, but you’ve got to be present.
