Hammond calls these unfinished stages of the painting the "awkward" stages - most artists call them the "ugly" stages. Most artists do go through stages in the painting that aren't polished or the subject even recognizable in some instances. It's normal but when you're learning a new medium, it's very discouraging and you do want to throw in the towel.
So, I'm working on and hoping it will all come out. I'm sure it will & I'm sure I'll get faster as I do more. Right now I'm kind of plodding along feeling my way so I have a lot more to finish. I also see some things to change and that's the one aspect of acrylic painting that I most appreciate - the ability to easily make changes.
I'll continue to work on this and may even finish it today or tomorrow! Again, stay tuned!
