Teaching charcoal classes has helped me get things right quicker
I preach this to my students , and I'm seeing for myself that it does help

Amber, thanks for sharing. When it comes to portraiture, you definitely rule these days! I love the look of those long brush strokes :)
Amber, looks like you have a knack for selecting winning paintings… not that I should be the least surprised! My “Bernard l’ermite” painting was awarded the honorable mention at a Montreal art contest. J’avais un coup de coeur pour cette peinture but I was hesitant to submit a work that broke many of the rules of traditional painting… however, your spontaneous vote of approval gave me wings! If my awards get bigger… I guess I’ll have to send you royalty checks:))
Amber, I meant "why should I be the least surprised"! After all you're an award winner yourself... my English failed me:)
Talking about masterpieces, this portrait makes a few bold statements about “masterpiecehood” if such a word exists! Close scrutiny reveals nothing in particular beyond a pleasing continuum of undifferentiated color harmonies. From a distance though, these harmonies speak loud and clear about the facial features they represent. The only explanation I can think of is that the painter painted pure light. Bring on the light Amber:))
Amber, on the subject of writing out your thoughts, in your case, all you need is to paint them:))
