One thing I learned from an art teacher a long time ago was to step back from your work on occasion and look at it from a distance. When we spend a lot of time close to the screen/paper/etc, we can sometimes lose our sense of scale and alignment. I use this method still to make sure that I'm on the right track with my pieces. If corrections need to be made, it helps catch them early.

It also helps with recognizing that minor mistakes are maybe not so bad. An errant brush stroke noticable at 30 cm away is usually not very noticeable at a distance.

Hopefully this helps!

    (Not my cat)

    Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.

     

    Zone 8b

    Varieties: Russian blue, white

    Grown in potato planting bags for good drainage. They are in the process of flowering, and some have produced a fruit (very poisonous - do not eat it). Hoping for lots of potatoes this year 🙂

    The floppy plants to the left are garlic (soft and hardneck Italian). They are fine; they got too tall and fell over.
