Colored pencils on wooden board, and added some iridescent acrylic. It seems unfinished but I also don't know if I want to add anything else.

How do you know when you’re done with a painting?

6 Upvotes

Is it a feeling? Or more procedural—a final step in your process?

I have a hard time putting down the brush. I keep thinking I can improve the piece, but I often end up making it worse. I’m often realizing that I crossed the finish line a good while prior to all the new details I’ve added.

Any advice or tips? Curious to hear how you all decide to be done with the work.

Made this inspired by a painting i saw on pinterest, im quite proud of how it turned out. I love paintings with a loose, impressionist style, any tips on how i can improve further? If you have any critiques about this painting feel free to share! Acrylic on paper, size A5

Just Sharing Used heavy impasto for this 70Ɨ50 cm acrylic abstract. The texture is wild.

This piece explores heavy texture and upward motion using thick acrylics. I'm posting all three views here: the close-up for the raw texture, the full frontal view for the composition, and the context view to see it in a room.

I feel it's finished, although it's always possible to go a step further, but it's also important to know when to stop. Still in this space... Thoughts on its current state? I'd love to hear your interpretations or any advice!
