At some point I try to organize, name, and reduce the layers to as few as possible while still keeping enough to easily change things. So by the end of the painting I would have a “layer set” for each element. For instance I might have a couple layers for the lighthouse, and a few more for the background, and all of them are put into a Layer Set that I title “Background.” Then I do the same with each other element as needed.
After a few more finishing touches it is time to call it finished.
