Appreciate this and the blog entry that goes with it! I've heard of this before, but it didn't quite register until now. Thanks!

Thats a great bit of advice,thanks for sharing. Like many artists I waste hours on detail right at the very start.

nice to see pareto principle applied to art =]

Mind blown.

Thank you for this excellent advice. I'm going to remember this rule as 'spend most of your time on that (small) part that most of the audience will focus on'.

At the very least, it'll help prioritize things.

PS I swear, art nowadays is as much an intellectual pursuit (contemplating all aspects of what one is depicting) as it is an expression of ones skills in manipulating the materials to express one's vision! [Though the powers of observation still trump.]

Thanks for this, so true!

More like a quick tip than a tutorial, but still a valid point that you bring up. Ideally, every element of a painting will be as rendered equally, but in the case of directing the eye to the more crucial elements of a painting, it helps to focus in on that area.
