Last year was nice and all, but by the end of it I thought, this is nothing like what I ‘usually’ (implies free time) do; if part of the goal is to practise then next time I should do something more in line with my typical approach. So, more about shapes and shading than lines and stark contrast.
Hence were born the RULES:
one hour
one layer
one colour
one scale
one attempt

Some small paintings, about 80 mm each side. Cute pieces of canvas conducive to painting something relatively quick and simple.
