It was a long day. Just got back to the kid’s house after a grueling day of fun at Disneyland and more than an hour after I normally post.
I thought I’d share my final artistic decisions regarding my crowd-sourced art project I began a couple of posts ago (Crowd-Sourced Art). I took many of your suggestions into account, and I want to thank all who participated (One’s a Crowd… So Far, Crowd-Sourced Art Continues) .
Here is the project after I removed the frisket (latex masking).
Crowd Sourced, without Mask
12″x16″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block
In the final stage of the composition, I used a combination of complementary coloration (purple adjacent to the yellow fields) in the white traces left by the mask, and coloration similar to the background.
Crowd Sourced
12″x16″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block
The purple lines were painted with watercolor and ink and the yellowish colors surrounding the preexisting fields were painted with ink. The one wild card was a green ink line dividing the heart-shaped red field. I don’t think it is noticeable in this rendition but it seems to work very well in real life.
I think these are sound artistic decisions based on feedback you gave me.
I hope you like the final results.
Looks good.
Thank you.

Now, I see a suburb in the desert, the green line is the irrigation ditch that makes life in the desert possible. I seen home! I like the colors.
Thank you, Pam.

I love to paint but I can’t do abstract art. I’m an expressionist and my concern is to express my thoughts and feelings. I enjoy your ability to create something that reveals the viewers own thoughts and feeling to them. :0)
That is very kind of you to say, Pam.
best,

Beautiful colors ☺️
Danke!
☺️ I love to see your development in painting. And the colors!
Thank you, Maria. Your opinion is important to me. I wish I understood more German. I was in Hamburg many years ago and enjoyed the museums there. Thanks for your posting on Max Pechstein, form and color. I enjoyed the pictures.
best regards,
Jack
