shape, color and repetition

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Today I would like to show you my process of today. Normally I don't show a lot of the act of creation. What I normally share is a work of art that stands on it self.

For me, the process is different every day. I think that's healthy because that makes me flexible in the choices that I make. My process today has clear steps and that is why I think it is fun for you to look behind the scenes.
the starting point was the shape of an eye, color explosion and repetition. I was curious if I could give it a quirky twist.

This is my start, I do recognise it as something that's typical voor me to create. I like the black lines with bright colors. I like it when you can see the brushstrokes.

I decided to experiment and made the same shape without the plack lines. Because the contrast was gone I played with the colors mixing. I also wanted to make thes brushstrokes more obvious

At this point I did'nt like it much. It seemed a bit emty. But I still had the idea of repetition (I was so busy with the colors I forgot) So I started the repetition of the same shape.

This was totally not what I expected it would be. There are parts I like, there are parts that doesn't do anything for me and there are parts I totally dislike about it. Standing out for me was how flat it looked. I decided to bring black back in but then like a shadow so the shape got some depth.

In this picture you also see that I have changed the direction of the shape. Together with the 3d effect, the whole thing is much more dynamic.

For now I am done with this, my head is full and working more on it feels boring. Another time I will take another look and probably see something completely different.

To unwind and have fun I made this.

I like the 3d effect! That really does make it more special! Yeah dont over analyse your work every time seems valid in this one!

Thank you, it is interesting to see how different things can become by little changes. There is a lot to learn and that makes me very happy.

how wonderful! and I love to see your process...keep up the awesome work ;')

Thank you very much!

that looks cool! Great job!

Thank you very much

Yo these are awesome! The first one got me thinking, you could design some really cool stained glass. Just a thought

Thank you so much! That's a great idea, thank you for your suggestion. I will look into it.
