Kind of post mortem of these studies:
For these, I'd either tried to limit myself to 20 brush strokes - or had a time limit of 3 - 4 mins. I did this to try and focus on my brush economy, and to emphasise learning about colours and composition without getting into any details. I've definitely learned that my compositions lack A LOT of contrast. They seem dull and lifeless, so I will be trying to include the things I learned here into my next pictures.
