Today I experimented with free form design. I drew half of it with an oil-based ink and the other with charcoal. On the inked side, I painted colors without variation; on the charcoal side I painted gradients of color. In the center, between the edged and no-edged form, I drew parallel inked lines.
Free Form Edge/No Edge

Each side has its own appeal.
Each appealing, together they are more than the sum of their parts. I meant as a composition visually but the metaphor is apt, too, maybe.
Thank you Claudia, so much.
