Before I start a new painting I am always confident I have the finished picture in my mind but as soon as the first brushstroke goes down I realise this is not the case and I enter into a frantic phase of correcting and re-correcting. It never ceases to amaze me how far I am from the finished picture when I start. Judging the tones does not seem to be problematic but finding the overall colour scheme is. Anyway, I feel confident with the start of this picture.
