The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2017\/01\/dk-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DK Project<\/a> is pretty much wrapped up so I can do what I like in my studio. But being able to do <em>anything<\/em> often means I do <em>nothing<\/em>! And so the blank canvas sits starring back at me. I&#8217;ve spoken previously about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2016\/08\/limited-palette-can-push-creativity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">usefulness of boundaries<\/a> and restrictions in pushing creativity so I decided to set up a challenge. This time, it would be about breaking the rules.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Breaking the rules. Okay but not every rule. So which ones? There are many rules in art: rules about composition; about placement of hard edges; about arrangement and use of values; about the workings of linear and aerial perspective; about proportion; and on and on.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see if you can tell which rules I&#8217;m breaking in the piece below. I wanted the outcome to have a more black\/white\/neutral look than I might normally go for, inspired as I was by the work of Anselm Kiefer at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seattleartmuseum.org\/visit\/seattle-art-museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle Art Museum<\/a>. (I&#8217;ve attached a couple of images at the end of the blog.)<\/p>\n<p>So check out the progression.
