When employing a bucket grid, artists can start by sketching a rough outline of their composition in one of the buckets. This initial step serves as a guide for placement and perspective, which can be particularly useful for complex scenes or portraits. Once the outline is established, the painter can fill in the buckets with color, applying techniques such as blending, layering, or glazing. This systematic approach allows for experimentation with colors and textures, as artists can easily adjust one section without affecting the entire work.
