This sort of painter commits to the initial and defining stroke. It's this stroke that leads to the others that are to surround it. It's important to keep all the strokes fresh from then on. Don't waste strokes. One by one they build outward until the composition is complete.
Freshness is achieved at all costs.
If the artist becomes tired or begins to see laziness in the effort, it's time for a rest. The idea is to look three times, think twice, and paint once. Every stroke has a meaning. None are muzzy unless muzzyness is needed. Try this system on one of your next paintings and let me know if it works for you.
