Since our last class a few weeks ago, I kept busy with some exercises on simple shapes - playing around with color and consistency, and trying to figure out how to make use of white gouache.
I've found I really enjoy working small like this. I'm calling these items greeting cards, and planning to give them away, which helps me not be precious about any single piece so I can move on to experimenting with the next one.
Also, someone with a sharp eye/memory may notice that the top-right one is one of our five-minute challenges, ripped in half, with a decontextualized purple-yellow marble on it. Cuz why not.
These are beautiful! The colors are so rich and saturated and they blend so well, especially in the bubbles and hexagons. You really are working that gouache!
ReplyDeleteGuessing this is Alison. Gouache was the clue. Lower right beautiful color expression. White gouache always in my bag. When you lose the white of your paper, you can do a subtle fix with it. You can’t do it with white watercolor paint. A white gel pen can work too…butcan be too obvious.
ReplyDeleteThis was actually Bryan's work! Buying the gouache was a joint mistake (or blessing!!) lol. We will start putting who is who on our posts :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah beautiful colors, and like the subject matter, micro to macro: The big bang to mass to bee environs, to the Tree of Life. That is what you were aiming at right?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love the vibrancy of the colors.
