STAGE 5 STARTING THE DETAILS
Up to now, the painting has been fast, but now begins the painstaking study of all parts of the painting; we go into detail and we go slowly. It is
important to look at seemingly unimportant things, such as the table edge. If the edge is well-contrasted and sharp, it creates space.(^68) http://www.InternationalArtist.com
STAGE 4 FINISHING THE PREPARATORY LAYER
Everything is now covered with a preparatory layer of thin paint without any attention to detail. Areas of light and dark (light and shadow) have
been foreseen. No medium or thinner is used, only paint from the tube.
