Month: March 2023

Next up are a few based less on curves and more on distorted and broken rectangles.

Similar basic shape as the last posts, but with more colors.

Here are a few more variations, without comment.

Whoa! Too many colors.

Here I used bold primary colors to illustrate what I mean. The colors closely follow the shapes. The effect is better when it is subtle. Compare with the previous image, Experiment 2023.2 #3, and others in this series.

Many of the posts in Experiment 2023.1, Experiment 2023.1 #3 for example, explored adding colors to a monochrome image. In those images the colors were independent of the shapes.

In this image and the previous two, the colors are related to the shapes.

I started out with a vague plan. The main point was to be organized. I would list things to try, try those things, record and document the results. Then I would further pursue the ideas I liked best.

As usual, I am easily distracted and often head down the proverbial rabbit hole. So instead of a pseudo-scientific organized study of variant ideas, the result is a collection of distractions.

I do not have time to start over while this blog remains idle. So I will try to impose some organization while posting what I have.

It has been a week since my last post. I need to get started again.

The story so far: In Monochrome Minimalism I explored simple white on black shapes. In Monochrome Minimalism #2 I listed some ideas about how to enhance the monochrome shapes. Then in Experiement 2023.1 I explored a few of those ideas.

In this Experiment 2023.2 series I continue with those experiments.

Adding texture to a mix of Experiment 2023.1 #15 and Experiment 2023.1 #16.
