I sketch out the painting (Gauguin's "Arearea" by the way) basically getting to know the composition, analyzing it, figuring out what I want to do with it, how I want to incorporate it.
"An artist must be on guard against the danger of producing something simpleminded rather than simple or making something complicated instead of developing something truly complex, and be able to acknowledge when the original print is better than the ‘gilded lily’ unwittingly produced."
