As I listen to artists (myself included), we all seem to say that we pride ourselves that we rise above those old rigid and silly rules regarding some techniques and theory.
I am curious...what are some of these rules of painting that some of us follow and some of us scoff at?
The very first "rule of painting" that pops into my mind is "always paint fat over lean." However this rule can be tossed out the window if you simply use Liquin as your medium throughout the painting.
