This is it folks – the final week of the quarter. I hope that you took the opportunity to get the required work done as the last days are now. WAEA Convention was a great opportunity for me to be reenergized and enthused about the next part of the year – I hope that you are also excited about the upcoming days.
#28: An idea is only as good as its execution. It is important that you master your medium. Poorly made work will either ruin a good idea or make the lamentable execution itself the subject. Overly finessed technique can mask a lack of content or can smother an image. At the same time, roughness and imprecision has its place in rendering. One can only gauge the need to throw technique away if one has first achieved the mastery of it. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School
