My idea was to recreate this sense of pattern with using the neutral hue range from Day 1. However once working through this idea, I quickly noticed that the style in the way I was creating and the actual image was the complete OPPOSITE to the meaning of the word!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDL_8XOy-0y9AXPrzgFVfPYj1JjtyAW_9fKlTSJ3V8KaNVccYdqLJbW6wUsEdTGeO0ET5tCt34B4SIzJt2UFzWpGTkXkhJxFEhWClRkQvIeVBmMEsoWdKtoJuA5d6f2Fd1i_uVfoPLII/s1600/IMG_0101.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDL_8XOy-0y9AXPrzgFVfPYj1JjtyAW_9fKlTSJ3V8KaNVccYdqLJbW6wUsEdTGeO0ET5tCt34B4SIzJt2UFzWpGTkXkhJxFEhWClRkQvIeVBmMEsoWdKtoJuA5d6f2Fd1i_uVfoPLII/s200/IMG_0101.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459579316259036402" /></a><br />The image was needing a drastic change & 'release' of the structure, so I took out a big flat brush, filled it w/ solvent & titanium white and began to blend away...in somewhat of a swoosh manner. This helped. The next logical step seemed to be the text. I decided on my silver paint and discovered that when using cursive, the initial letter turns into a 2 plus the mathematical symbol 'x' amongst the text. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGBaHw90sI78QpB7KfWxQ_9rcEYgidEq1tyNF3X0q8I2YYYsqV926dsjDXIKgcQUI7ycehq2pb2ZO4pDrZRA5BV_liWnOJp2SYUVt35t7fmoIv1PoYD6rqCsNJheA2WiGBRiQvWfZ-QI/s1600/IMG_0102.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGBaHw90sI78QpB7KfWxQ_9rcEYgidEq1tyNF3X0q8I2YYYsqV926dsjDXIKgcQUI7ycehq2pb2ZO4pDrZRA5BV_liWnOJp2SYUVt35t7fmoIv1PoYD6rqCsNJheA2WiGBRiQvWfZ-QI/s200/IMG_0102.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459583096469892578" /></a><br />Does no feel finished...unsure at this moment about the next stepgreen & thirteenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16593262634979353987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341097438474193901.post-46252179421919237602010-04-13T03:18:00.000-07:002010-04-13T03:59:13.690-07:00Quixotic part 2I was trying to return to the previous posting & discuss the images i uploaded, by alas I was unsuccessful. So I shall explain now. <br /><br />On the first day of this elective we were asked to create a range of neutral hues. Whilst working through this colour mixing exercise, I began to notice a range of theses neutral hues, almost as a mosaic. The theme in which i decided to continue with.<br /><br />Now I had to work with the other aspect of this project: text or numerals. Do I use a single letter? A favourite number? A memorable quote? And then i remembered a word that I heard a few years back; one which I loved saying as much as the definiton...Quixotic. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> green & thirteenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16593262634979353987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341097438474193901.post-25464847779064811872010-04-13T02:52:00.000-07:002010-04-13T03:59:13.694-07:00Quixotic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEiUKlnLPUMHw1l-wo1geLqCsuhIU5RLpIsNKBmpfmSv8eyMylH9K48AQQPOZa7LMu2s4nt5gSOOtGIPC4Mprvmyi_-AUl02zq0xr6-msHaC9GCRGGhpGMgO0XXsxCm9W_dvPplk7Yiw/s1600/IMG_0105.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEiUKlnLPUMHw1l-wo1geLqCsuhIU5RLpIsNKBmpfmSv8eyMylH9K48AQQPOZa7LMu2s4nt5gSOOtGIPC4Mprvmyi_-AUl02zq0xr6-msHaC9GCRGGhpGMgO0XXsxCm9W_dvPplk7Yiw/s200/IMG_0105.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459563407775482466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzlO3nTnbZdhaZ6atDI2EKCksSxOP8m3uTBTTgLpq1W5fY43LOhLMkktLMJVrSM8Yro4oo4DFZ5dEv6FIjSqneWoc8AgEktu-Hlq038dNgawzcX3OOVR0X2K4L0pB4X7QsfH5zU7Rv-X0/s1600/IMG_0107.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzlO3nTnbZdhaZ6atDI2EKCksSxOP8m3uTBTTgLpq1W5fY43LOhLMkktLMJVrSM8Yro4oo4DFZ5dEv6FIjSqneWoc8AgEktu-Hlq038dNgawzcX3OOVR0X2K4L0pB4X7QsfH5zU7Rv-X0/s200/IMG_0107.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459563400342456690" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRBmHes38q3CWk6iWW5SGiRDKfJuT3YMEpanCJj8tPljboUo9XlrwZnnH7TO6pDDbdlC6ILM-hXA637aL80zF-xcHV-DJLzuRa_T-L9E8sIgb5N5cKMJkxG_JRq1JmuYr7uJ674OWe_6g/s1600/IMG_0106.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRBmHes38q3CWk6iWW5SGiRDKfJuT3YMEpanCJj8tPljboUo9XlrwZnnH7TO6pDDbdlC6ILM-hXA637aL80zF-xcHV-DJLzuRa_T-L9E8sIgb5N5cKMJkxG_JRq1JmuYr7uJ674OWe_6g/s200/IMG_0106.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459563390545718946" /></a><br />My inagural posting...and it is defiantly not as easy as it looks.
