All the challenges in this assignment!
My first attempt was the green/yellow-green color palette. Trying to stick to the palette was difficult and I wasted a lot of paint! My next challenge involved the infinite possibilities of positioning various sizes of squares and rectangles, and then making a mess with the matte medium. I also added stash scrap that violated the rule of "no diagonals" before I realized I had done so. This was not my favorite piece.
The yellow palette was more fun. I enjoyed creating the color swatches and found it easier to stay within the parameters. The background seems to blend nicely with the swatch colors.
The purple/red composition was fun to create but difficult to photograph. I used some white paint in the background that really shows in the photos. The palette is mostly purple and red, but the photo makes it look more contrasty than it really is. I think all of my pieces are busier than I like.
I really enjoyed having parameters within which to work, and at the same time, so much freedom. This has been fun.
On to lesson 1, project 2!
I dislike the inconsistent color application made by the brush strokes.
I think they're all good, Bern! You have areas of detail and interest and the color blending is great.
