I think this a great study. By the time I sketched the second figure, I was able to see shapes and not people - what a relief that moment was when I realized that. Blind contour drawing on each of these. The man to the top right is my current favorite because of the action in his painting.

Simple 45 minutes, used 2 simple rules and violated 1.
Rule 1 = warm pulls forward, cool pushes behind.
Rule 2 = Values for sky lighter than mountain lighter than earth. Water unknown.
Rule 3 violated which in turn needed a crop = the point of interest was equidistant from each edge. Ugh.
Other unresolved issues - the whites are bothering me but I don't know which color to use to fill them with.

Another from my mini painting series. The grass to the right in front of the brown mass needs to darken and then extend that dark shape to the right of the painting for better distance and composition.
