An evening on the greys that are not grey at all, and on the small warm light that makes them work.
The limited palette was the whole evening. Several people said afterwards it was the first time mixing colour had made sense to them.

The wine helps, but honestly it was the not-being-rushed. Three hours went past and I did not look at my phone once.
Pick a date, reserve a place, and spend an evening making something.
Night light and deep blues
An evening built around night pictures — lamplight, wet streets, windows from the outside. Deep blues, warm points of light, and no need to draw anything realistically.
Objects, shadow and quiet
Fruit, glass, a folded cloth, an ordinary jug. An evening on the oldest subject in painting, and the one that teaches the most.
Sea, weather and thick paint
Put the brushes down. An evening of thick paint, wide horizons and weather, made almost entirely with a palette knife.
