Interesting question.

Rules? I gleefully break stupid "rules" all the time and rather like to think of it as "creative innovation." To me, a really dumb rule too often heard is to paint only from life...and not use a photographic reference.

BUT I NEVER, EVER, EVER break the principles of painting on purpose. For example, a principle of painting would be to clearly define light and shadow on an object.
