Yes, the center out approach. I think Richard Schmid employs this as well. Scott Christensen taught me to paint all over the painting, sort of an orchestration, to control for values, etc. But I've found the center out approach effective. Need to do it more. Holton studio gallery sent me a post card today with your work, and I found you here. Have enjoyed your work and art tips. Hope you continue to share new and past posts!
