I just started studying- after about two years of only drawing out of my head (and photobashing for some client stuff); the only one I'm actively applying my daily studies to is the last painting in the post above. I've been doing two studies daily for about a week now, and I feel like I;m already growing a little bit. Not that I'm great at painting, but my drawing is my biggest weakness- I'm really trying to practice form and perspective, and integrate environments into my pieces (bottom pic will have a background eventually, when I finish painting the body. I planned it out in hidden layers),
But yeah, environments, and thinking/visualizing the scene in 3D are by far my biggest weaknesses that I'm trying to overcome right now.

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
