Repetition

7" x 5" practice pears

Lather, rinse, repeat...well not the first part, but repeat,

repeat, repeat. It's great to work in a series or paint the

same subject over and over again. What you learned from

one painting can be valuable in the next. Maybe the next time

I'll apply the paint just so, or I will make the background darker

or lighter, change colors, exaggerate the shapes. All valuable

lessons that can be applied to a series of practice paintings

to warm up your brush!
