But I think (one) reason her approach is working so much better than mine is because she has all those well-mixed colors at hand—that's what I call a candy box. I mix mine on a butcher's tray and usually don't make enough colors or close-enough blends. I think I'm afraid of wasting too much paint.
Another factor is she uses washes a lot more than I've seen before. Plus so many tricks—the ultra-fine miniature brushes, drybrushing etc. She was making a very detailed painting, whereas for the Watts method they're doing sketches.
She said she's had talent from an early age and just studied every book she could find on art technique. I suspect it's a case of extreme patience and discipline, much like it seems to be for Kim Jung Gi. I watched a bunch of videos about him last night. Inspiration overdose.
