With all of my paintings (with one exception-and it's my least favorite) I just start painting. I usually don't have a sketch of what the finished composition should look like (unless it's a commissioned piece). But that's hard for me because I require my students to have at least thumbnail sketches before they start a piece. I feel like it's a double standard. Then again, I can start over as many times as necessary and I don't have a due date like my students do, so it is different. Right?
On my next painting, I wanted to mix circles and squares, but wanted to keep it pretty geometric.
I like the texture under my subject matter, so I knew I wanted to keep that aspect.
I wanted more muted tones this time in case someone's home decor wasn't bright colors.
Here's the end result...
