A common mistake is to work on the background separately or after the main subject. The whole painting should be worked together, though most likely the area that is not the primary focus will be less worked. If you work on a portrait, for example, the colors in the background will be reflected in the skin, especially the forehead, though possibly with a light touch. The painting should feel cohesive. You just have to paint a lot- the more you do, the more sense it will make!
