The one-colour scene

Short journal · Original editorial · Originality through constraints

A drawing relies on many colours to separate objects.

A constraint can make a choice visible. Limit one feature while leaving others open, then inspect what the limit made possible and what it blocked. Keep the experiment reversible; the constraint is a tool for this attempt, not a law.

Try one colour and use spacing or line weight to create distinction.

Try the change once before turning it into a permanent routine. Keep the part that helps and revise the part that does not.
