Painting problems

Have you ever gotten to a point in a painting where you just don't know what to do next? Or have a color that is completely wrong but don't know what color to use? In the past I have spent hours upon hours trying different things to my paintings hoping that I will stumble upon a solution just to end up overworking and ruining the piece. However I have found a quick and easy solution to coming up with solutions.
When you come to a problem in your work simply take a photo of your piece and upload it into photo shop. From there you can experiment with all sorts of colors and even change up you composition. It is a great way to see you painting with fresh eyes. once you have come up with a solution to your painting problem simply print out your new image and use it as a reference. By using this method you will be able to see many different changes without taking the time to make all of them with paint which keeps your piece from being overworked and saves time!
