I have learned that I really lean towards detail, even tho I really want my paintings to have a loose feel and look to it. So what I’ve found is not allowing myself near my small and really small brushes until doing highlights, I really have to earn using them :) In fact, only allowing myself to use my large paint brushes the first day of a new painting really has helped me go in a freer direction. I used to start a blank canvas with a tiny brush and was frustrated when I didn’t seem to have the look I was hoping for. Your picture is coming along great Bari, I love all the colours, they work so well together. C x

Looking good Bari! I’m a bit of a detail freak and that works for me...nothing wrong with it if that’s your thing. Personally I love the detail here - you’ve nailed the foreground/background contrast as well.
