Great steps - I often make a "abstract mess" on my canvas that subsequently I work in a similar way. The difference with me is that my subjects are not pre-determined, but result out of what the shapes suggest - so only near the end is a conscious direction taking over. The way to there is a trip into the blue. I try to keep a balance between the Apollonian and Dionysian elements, but often the Surrealist prevails.

Yes your procedure is similar, and it is relaxing to do the first steps, playing with color. I like to mix up realism and abstraction too.
