CHALLENGE: Chance Limits

Let's start drawing again! Whoever will, one and all, let this be fun! No art here, just creative thinking with a pencil. But what a "just" that is.

This is from Sonheim's Drawing Lab:

Pick two numbers between one and ten.

Then look at the two lists in the "Comments" below and make a drawing of your combination. Make two or three different drawings of the same combo, more if you can, and pick your favorites. Post at will. Dougie and I are already done!

"Limit gives form to the limitless." Pythagoras

"The fewer limitations the artist imposes on his work, the less chance he has for artistic success." Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"Without firm limits there is no play." Rem Koolhaus

"It's a paradox: When you have complete freedom, you often freeze up and do nothing." Carla Sonheim: Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists

Two vs One + Cat

FF Two Against Three

Got this idea from Ted Kautsky and an article in an art magazine. Ted showed me the importance of the three value system. The magazine article was about pitting two of those tones against one. One tone should be dominant--over half the drawing. The other two tones fill in the rest, with one of those taking over half that space. See further comments below.
