I've found with a couple of pieces I've done I like when they are quite sketchy/painterly but I want to commit to detailed work. I feel like I'm spending too much time doing detail for my level of skill and should instead knock out more paintings at a less finished state. Particularly as I'm learning colour, I think that will help me understand colour faster. Thoughts? is it hampering learning to do 'finished' pieces less often? I've attached an example at the 'sketch' stage (except the head) and then finished. Seemed a lot of time taken between the two without it being 'that' much better?
