"Radishes"

Carol Marine has started a new weekly challenge through Daily Paint Works. The object of the current challenge is to paint one subject in a ten minute time frame, and then repeat it multiple times. I had heard that this was one of Carol's exercises in her workshops but had never tried it myself. The idea is to simplify and to concentrate on shapes, color and values. What a great exercise! Be sure to click on the link above and check what other artists are submitting to the challenge. Do you have any idea how fast ten minutes can fly by?
