I guess I am still at the stage of applying previous knowledge of oil painting and drawing to it, but hopefully I will evolve in the process. "Fake it 'till you make it!" is something I hear a lot from lindy hop teachers and it sort of stuck on me- I see it as a step away from fear of making mistakes. Anyway, I am quite pleased with the result, considering my lack of experience, and I would like to share the three stages of the process:
