"How messy or controlled and tidy the work on progress is, will give a hit as to how your mind coupes or how comfortable it is in messy situations."
That sentence in particular really struck me. I appreciate it whenever artists show or tell where they made decisions during the creation of artwork, but you're the first who ever mentioned the messiness. How DO we each deal with messiness while we're moving towards a completed picture?

I don't have a signature set of steps when I work. It depends on the project at hand. I can do 2 pieces in the same medium and size, and even the same subject matter, and go about them completely different. I do notice that when I paint (especially in oils) I am very messy at the beginning. About halfway through I'm thinking to myself "man, I can't wait for this thing to come together", then at the end it's victory!
The only mediums that I don't have a messy style with is graphite and colored pencil. Always realistic, always lots of layers and blending.

That's all I saved for this one, but the next time i'm doing a peace i'm enjoying, i'll make more progress shots.

This was enlightening and I really glad you shared this!
I'm learning how other artists paint and work and it's making the process of learning to paint less daunting, so thank you for sharing this progress!
