It is essential to study the elements that make a painting great. These include: relationships of objects, shapes, lines, spaces and colors; their juxtaposition toward the surface and boundaries; their rhythm and balance.
Study of these elements takes place whenever a painting is reviewed.   It is essential to learn from review and to progress, while remaining free to explore and change.
Subjects are chosen from slices of life. While focusing on the elements above, subjects must remain subservient to the elements.
