    Solution

    "Precision" means the quality of being exact and accurate, which is appropriate for both the careful work of an artist and the meticulous completion of a project. "Hesitation" means to pause or be uncertain, which does not fit the context of either sentence. "Reluctance" means unwillingness or hesitation to do something, which is also not suitable for these sentences.
