From Blank Canvas to Finished Study

What this ebook covers

This guide gives beginners a structured way to move from an empty surface to a completed small study. It emphasizes planning, observation, simplification, and review so painting sessions feel more manageable and purposeful.

• Starting strong: reference selection, thumbnail planning, and simple composition choices
• Building the painting: block-ins, large shapes, value grouping, and gradual refinement
• Decision-making: when to simplify, adjust, pause, or finish
• Reflection tools: reviewing each study to inform the next session

This ebook is ideal for readers who want a reliable process they can return to as they practice and develop confidence over time.
