Experiment One-1a

Hey gang, ok, Let's start an experiment, just to see what differences there are between people, and how we see things. I give you this picture, with 4 different areas, 4 shapes, 2 different background colors. It is up to you how you choose to work with it, BUT, the only requirement is that you make a FACE from each of the four shapes. Then, of course, share the results! I will share mine as we progress so you can get the idea of what is expected, you may choose to print this and draw on it, or paint it, whatever! I will use my computer, I like to work fast, and the computer art program I have allows that.

This is the first of the squares, I will call it 1a, all I do is thicken or thin the lines to make a rough sketch or formulation of an idea of what it might turn out to be, there is no real "eureka" moment here, this is just a process. Then I add more lines!

Now, to add color, I just block in the areas with color, This will probably look like a watercolour when I am done, that is the feeling I get from it, so I go with that, I start blending the shapes, and shadows, and will add highlights later. And maybe a background, depends on what this turns out to be! "maybe a squirrel lives here"

I start to blend the colors into the lines to get an idea of the outcome for the shapes, molding the medium into various areas, and blending it with others, sometimes, I obliverate the lines, and sometimes not.

So, there ya have it, now it is time for you to start your own, I will show my results when I am done, take yer time, this could last a while, I would like to see as many as possible get in on this. Enjoy! Jeff
