In the month of June I participated in a The Thirty by Thirty (30×30) Direct Watercolor Marathon. It was organized by Montreal artist, Marc Taro Holmes and the goal was to do more painting and use daily practice to get better at something. As I am working hard on my gouache skills I decided to adjust rules and did a month of direct gouache paintings and I wanted to try and use minimum number of brushstrokes (twenty or less). It was an interesting month and I am scanning all the images and will write more about things that challenged me, things I failed at, and things I learned (actually it's more or less the same list ;) But for now - here is a glance at my instagram feed with a #20brushstrokes hashtag.
