Light
- Is the subject effectively lit?

- Would the light look stronger with a suggestion of burnout?
- Do the lights have a continuous flow?
- Is the light gradiated?

Shadows
- Do the shadow shapes describe the form?

Solidity
- Is the underlying form being communicated?
- Is the symmetry in perspective?

Color
- Is there a color strategy?
- Could a purer color be used?
- Do the whites have enough color in them?
- Are the colors overbended on the canvas?
- would the color look brighter if it were saturated into its adjacent area?

Paint
