After last week’s post<\/a>, my good friend and art buddy Dianne Shullenberger<\/a> brought up a good question: “In digging deeper and deeper into work is it sometimes bordering on overworking?”<\/p>\n

After thinking about it for a bit, this was my response: “I think there is a fine line between just right and overdone – & one that Gerald Auten recognized we were shying away from by perhaps under-evolving our drawings. My take on the subject is that we just have to be brave and forge ahead. I find when I push beyond my comfort zone exciting discoveries can be made. But as you suggest, sometimes one can overdo it – and then you have to chalk it up to experience.”<\/p>\n

With time and practice I find I am becoming more competent at judging how far to push a piece, although the key qualifier in that statement is “more”. There is no substitution for doing the work, and as you make more work, these mysteries begin to clarify — don’t you think?\u00a0 This article from ART<\/strong>News <\/a>illustrates that the answer to how far to push a piece is as individual as each artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
