I'm a Brit who's lived in Austria for almost 25 years: I vacillated between making my project about 1970s Britain or Christmas in Austria. I went for Austria, specifically the Christmas cookies tradition here.

 

These are my sketches and final stamps. I used this project to keep practicing with paint rather than work digitally, so I went off-piste a bit. What came across loud and clear was that my favourite composition styles are single object and still life, and I prefer to work with a minimal palette. As soon as I have to incorporate more elements and colours, I start panicking! I ended up with an unusual-for-me palette but stuck with it (still don't love the more colourful pieces). My least favourite piece is the figure, I haven't worked out yet how to stylise faces and figures properly, I need to get a bit more adventurous.
