I like the way how you present the process, it is really difficult to imagine how the result will look like and still everything can be changed during the process. I like mixing colors no matter on palette, on canvas the best I find is to get two three colors on slightly bigger brush may be flat on better and just color with that, the colors will be mixed automatically and it makes really good effect. I try not to mix completely the colors, I like when you still can recognize that there are couple of them together, because sometimes properly mixed one darken the end result. When I saw your painting it reminded me Picasso ones, I love yours and really impressed with the end result. You have a great imagination, very good job @shortcut :)

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback and thanks a lot about the comparison with Picasso, who I highly worship :-)!
It's very interesting to get such an opinion from another artist. I usually don't think too much about how I do certain things, but this painting was different in several ways, because it was more planned than usually. I tend to be too self-critical sometimes, but overall it has been a great experience.
I can understand what do you mean with "self-critical", normally I can't assess the results of my works critically that is why my husband is the great indicator. I usually show him and ask what does he thinks, unconsciously I look at the expression of his face and you can't believe I immediately know what he thinks, if it is good or not if I need to change something to improve it. Do you also have Kritiker at your side?
Yes, my seven year old daughter is often my first indicator. It's really nice to re-watch the work through the eyes of a child. And my wife usually also gives me some valuable feedback. But I absolutely love Steemit for providing me feedback, the quality of that is so much higher, than in any other social media, I tried before. (And sometimes people at Steemit are even asking, if my art is for sale ;-)
Have the same opinion, have you sold any of your works. I may be very greedy but at present I prefer to keep my ones may be because I still want to be reminded about my development skills. Thank for your chat today @shortcut and you do not need to upvote :)
I sold several of my works using the @steembay bid bot already (and some digital artworks directly.) Sometimes I also want to hold back my works, because I think about doing an exhibition sometimes in the near future. But it's also important to let go :-) Good luck with your development and also thanks for the chat. I often upvote comments, that I find valuable, to support this kind of interaction :-)
