Prompt

A painting of a dense crowd seen from directly above, hundreds of tiny figures filling the entire frame with no background visible. Each person is two or three brush marks, a dab for a head and a stroke for a coat, colours repeating in loose clusters of pink, teal and cream. No focal point, no perspective, the crowd reading as texture and rhythm rather than a scene. Visible brushwork throughout, matte paint.

Tips

1Two or three brush marks per person is the instruction that stops it rendering faces.
2No focal point, stated directly. Models want to build a subject.
3Colour repeating in clusters gives the rhythm.
