This reading covered the basics of design and composition, including volume, value, contrast, and gradients/shading (among others).
It's sometimes daunting, even if you create art, to step back and look at the number of things that are to be considered when beginning to do a work of art.
Sometimes the process can be far more complicated than a simple idea. That idea or concept may not even scratch the surface in terms of possible design and effect that could be achieved.
Thinking about all these elements you could incorporate, it makes my work feel shallow and underdeveloped (even with some of the aspects included)!
Also, in the interview with Phillia Yi, she says that she met people doing 5' X 7' paintings a day.
I'm sure there are people who do that, but I can scarcely imagine the amount of creativity that must take to do!
