Here is a challenge for you :
Brush Economy. No smooth shading. But thinking about every brush stroke you lay down. Not sure how you doing these studies, but when you zoom in on Sargents work, what makes it authentic is the decisions of each brush strokes he lays down.

I noticed, especially for digital painting, we seems to let the tools such as smudging or blending do the work for us, instead of doing the opposite, thinking about the brush marks you put down, thinking about the direction of the stroke etc.

That's a great challenge Brian, I'll definitely try this, one of the things that I love about Sargent is like you said that he only lays down the information we need to interpret whats he's trying to paint or draw. I'll try it on my studies from today, I'll take some process pictures as well!
