Painting - Simplified Landscapes

I have been working on some very simplified landscapes. These are small, ranging in size from 6"X7" up to 9"X12" and I limited myself to using neutrals. The idea for these came from Jane Davies' online workshop '100 Drawings on Cheap Paper'. For the last lesson in the workshop we created our own lesson and then reviewed the lesson plan with Jane and she helped fine tune it. These are an ongoing 'practice'. I have small paper sizes at the ready and use any leftover paint from the days' efforts to create these - waste not want not! Not only do these give me lots of ideas for future exploration, but because they are small and not too time consuming they are an excellent way to experiment and 'practice'! That is one of the things that this workshop has instilled in me - how important it is to practice! Hope you enjoy having a look and are finding time for some experimentation and practice in your studio!
