"From and early point in his life, Uglow set up many rules and personal structures in order to focus almost exclusively on his painting. His life seemed to be completely controlled by rules which he set for himself: (as reported by friends) Mondays were dinner with his mother, Tuesday he would buy groceries, on Wednesday play table tennis, Thursdays dinner with friends, Fridays teaching at the Slade. He would only paint during the days and only draw during the night since the light was different (though, he later amended this in order to create the Night Painting series).
Uglow had a reputation for being stern and inflexible person because of all the structures that he employed helped him paint."

"In order to anchor the elements of his paintings, plum lines were employed. These can be seen in some of the photos of his studio. In those photos we also see the elaborate markings created to position the models. The markings of other set ups and working lines also seem to make their way into other paintings. With all these model position lines, plum lines, dots to measure elements, the final paintings are alive with markings." (bron: Painting Perceptions)
