This painting is a prime example of pentimento, as grid lines can be seen throughout the painting, as Vasari didn’t omit the grid outline definition. My art teacher, Ryan Shultz, speculates that due to this error, Vasari abandoned work on this painting, as no matter how many layers he’d paint over, the grid would always be there, and never go away. Even if he managed to cover it up, years later, the grid lines would end up being prominent and noticeable as they now are.

Is it too light or too dark? Is it too sharp or too blurry?

Ryan explained I should think of the forms in the box as the abstract form of canyons, and in terms of paradeiloa, he wants me to paint them as forms other than what they are. For the ear project, I should think something along the lines of, "This is not an ear or a portion of an ear, this is a windswept canyon."

Note: Albiet Carabaggio being considered a good artist, he did a sloppy job of doing ears.
