Wow, refreshing to discover that you do edgy blocky brushstrokes from the early stages!

Most painters I've seen go from a very blurry looking painting to more and more defined/crispy/sharp looking ones.

Is that a consious decision?

And do you use a thinner/oil at any stage?

I find that brushwork is the most significant aspect of any painter's 'handwriting' so to say, and I like your sharp bold brushstrokes. I feel difficulty making them not blurry.

Any tips for that?
