Time and Balance

Ive been thinking about my painting.  I used to take ages over it and agonise over every brush stroke, and that made it take sooooo long that I got fed up with it.  I lost patience.

I learnt recently that I get the same results (not great ones I admit) if I just 'get the hell on with it' and 'apply brush to model' with less worry. This meant I've actually been finishing models, and that's a GREAT feeling and spurs you on to the next.

The problem now, is I'm worrying that I'm going too fast and not doing a very good job at all.
There's clearly a balance between speed and quality, and I've no idea if I'm striking that balance when I take into account my own (very amateur) skill level.
Then again maybe I'm just worrying unnecessarily, my painting is tolerable for tabletop, and I should just get on with it.
