Im a painter for many years. When I paint, I usually walk around and look at my painting for many hours. When painting session is long, it harder and harder to maintain a fresh look.By fresh look; I mean state of mind (perception) when I am as objective about my work as possible. The longer the session continues and painting is changed; its harder for me to be objective about it.To be objective and fresh, artists would take many 5-min breaks in one painting session. I used to do that too, until I learned a strange trick from my friend.Whole trick is to take your painting and just rotate it about 90 or 180 degrees for a moment and look at it. Surprisingly, this gives a fresh (somehow new) perspective at painting.I would like to ask; why is that?It seems to me, that somehow brain filters out many informations about images that it knows. When I rotate my image; it is recognized as different (not known).Any research on described phenomenon?
