A couple of days ago I posted showing comparisons between my depictions of trams throughout the challenges and my depictions of formula 1 cars throughout the challenges. This led on to the idea – wouldn’t it be fun to take some of the subjects that I painted in 2018 and paint them again now, for a comparison? I don’t know how many others I’ll do, but my latest painting, number 18, is a Prague tram, and I also painted one of these in 2018. Here’s today’s
And here’s 2018’s
I’m easily tempted to pull apart and criticise the 2018 picture, but I have to remember that I didn’t know any better.

I had a lot to learn about using colour full stop.
