Artistic Freedom
In as much as I am painting in the same space as I am woodworking, I will on occasion layer detail images of the works together and compare the differences and similarities. It is a very useful exercise for the compositional muscles and can generate ideas for the next project. It is another method by which to make artistic design choices.
