In today’s lesson, we began on starting abstract paintings. (Which is meant to look like shapes and colours, nothing specifically.) We started by picking random shapes from our sketchbooks and drawing them with tracing paper. Then we continued to draw these shapes until it created an image. Then we draw what we created but on the other side of the paper and then scribble on the same side afterwards on a piece of paper. This would then put the image from the tracing paper onto the paper in my sketchbook.
Once I did that, I began filling in the little shapes with paint using only the colours black, white and purple. Once filled the image would look like an abstract piece. I had a choice between purple and red but I went with purple because I think it is a more satisfying colour, and it’s up there on my list of favourite colours. With the shapes I had created it kind of made the piece look like an army mesh but purple, which is something i like about it.
