I nailed the wash today. It may not seem so from the photo of today’s composition, but there is clearly a gradual progression from the warm English yellow at the top of composition to the cool lemon yellow at the bottom.

Yesterday, I made my two straight line forms cross; today, they are separated. I used my compass to draw arcs with different centers of origin, around the both sides of each line of color. I used my French curve to draw a wave-like form (again, inspired by yesterday’s watercolor). One could construct a less forceful wave if one connects the dots present on the lower portion of this study.

Finally, I needed a linear element to counterbalance the color-filled figures, so I animated the lone purple dot with squiggly ink lines.

The arrangement of visual elements suggested no narrative to this piece, thus we have Abstract 033116.
