Vary the intervals

If some of the shapes in your painting look awkward or boring, they may be too close in size. Think about making one shape larger than the other. This is so simple, but thinking about it at the right time is about the handiest trick to have up your sleeve that I know.

Painting is all about being aware on many different levels: color, composition, light, paint-on-a-surface, and of course the mysterious essence that we all are after. It all comes with practice.

As Wylene aptly put it, "Let your brain take over." Every artist in the world knows exactly what she means!
