Hi JP, thanks for your comment! Sometimes itโ€™s better to keep painting over the existing layer, but each situation is different, so if you want to change whatโ€™s been done drastically and completely, I suggest just starting over. To answer your second question, I avoid working with bad reference photos. Iโ€™m sure I talked about it in some videos. Even when youโ€™re a skilled painter it can be very challenging to work with unclear references and youโ€™ll be doing a lot of guess-work, so if youโ€™re just starting out, I strongly recommend choosing good photographs (or to work with live models)

Thank you Daria for the video. Since I am just starting as an artist and I have no background in art I have a lot to learn. I frequently mess up my canvas. What would you do if you were to fix something in your canvas and start over ? Or would it be better to keep painting layer over layer on it ? Also, if your reference picture is not clear how do you determine where the shadows and highlights should be placed?

I used to have the color wheel near my easel with a few other notes/reminders for myself, it can be very useful to have in your work area, I completely agree!

Very interesting quiz. A good exercise / reminder to hang the color wheel in my work area. Daria, thank you for the reminder...
