When I am working on a large canvas with alot of negative space I sometimes find the first layer or two of the background boring. I feel like I am "pushing paint". As the painting progresses and I start getting into more detail and the background also begins to take shape then I start enjoying working on the painting more. As the painting gets closer and closer to being finished I start really enjoying it. Just when I am having the best time painting, all of a sudden it is finished! Then it is time to start all over again the boring part of covering another white canvas.
