JEANINE:
I really like the painting...the window and scenery really work!
MARI:
I second that! Peggy's tapes are very comprehensive. She is a very good nuts and bolts "explainer" of things.
MORRIS:
You turn the painting upside down in order to switch your brain function from left to right. Doing this can give you a "fresh eye" and can help you instantly spot a problem that you may have overlooked before.
The logical and linear thinking Left brain can sometimes get "stuck" and can benefit from a "kick" from the more creative and intuitive Right brain.
Suddenly looking at something in a less logical way (backwards, upside down, through a filter, etc.) will oftentimes allow an artist a sudden insight into solving a problem.
The popular book, "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" explains this in great detail. Even though many artists knew to do these things long before the book was written, we really didn't know why.
