Fibonacci et al




Here are some sketches I've done in acrylic paint, they're just kinda abstract experimenting with shape and form. This mini-series of sketches uses a strict set of colours, pale lemon, green gold, pale olive and cadmium orange (hue). I decided that I wanted to experiment and explore the shapes and colour effects but reducing the potential outcomes (by using few colours) and also increasing the comparability.

This first image I've explored straight edges (another theme I've stuck to with these sketches) and rectangles that stack up irregularly.




This second image I wanted to explore the same straight edges but loosening up on the rectangles and exploring composition and layout.



This third image uses fibonacci, which I'm not going to explain, but if you're familiar with it and the golden section you'll probably see its application in this image.
