Summer head study 6

Thank for other artists sent me the comments for study 5, the result was better, a guy collected it.
I just remind that I need to write journal for my final review, so I will write more of my thought on my blog here, it's my homework, more like I talk to my self, but feel free to make your comment if you like.

Currently I am busy in remodeling my house, and next month I need to take care my kids, they are in summer break, I know I have too many excuses for myself.
But today, after my teacher Zhaoming talked to me about the problem of my art work, I think I do need to sit down and take some time to think about how to improve my work even I am not able to paint much now but maybe I can think more, I should learn more from each study.
The idea is very important before start a painting, all the process during the paint should work for the idea, and the final result should represent the idea, I should pay more attention at that for my next study.
The good idea is most important for a good art work even just a study, I think the idea could be about color, shape, your thought, your feeling, or anything touched you; the hand skill is the tool to support you to achieve you idea; Hand skill is important for a artist, but it comes from your brain too.
