Limiting the choice
As I mentioned below it’s easier to choose breakfast when offered either bacon and eggs or toast and marmalade, than it is if you are offered absolutely every edible thing in the world, well alright - Tesco.
So maybe one of the reasons I paint the figure is because it is a limitation. With a model in front of me I know what to paint. There are plenty different ways in which to paint the figure, and that alone is enough choice.
Faced with a huge empty panel and permission to do absolutely anything you want, the scope of choice is daunting and the decision-making process almost impossible.
Another reason I paint the figure is that I like painting life.
