I started with pieces from an earlier lesson for inspiration. The colors didn't really interest me but I wanted to work with sweeping lines, curves and swirls.
 |
| Original Series |
I then I began playing with different color and swirls
 |
| 1a |
 |
| 1b- added textured paper, black India ink lines, white out area. added color |
 | |||
| 1c - added more colors and lines. |
Not really satisfied with the above, I played around with more lines and different colors.
 |
| Modular #2 - a,b,c surrounded by black |
Here I think I am beginning to get a feel for bringing pieces
together, but maybe need more purple in # 2a and less black lines..2c
kind of dark.
Then I started playing with a new set of colors which I really enjoyed -
shades of orange, green and violet. and of course black and white.
 |
| #3 a |
 |
| # 3 b |
The above 2 pieces are about 20x 20 on watercolor paper.
More play.. smaller sizes on same paper... 6x6 and 8x 20.

| #4 Lots of fun.. |
The following are various modular compositions from the above
 |
| #5 - like the color and movement - right image a bit distorted |
 |
| #6 - more fun..but wonder if the. bottom right might be kind of busy.. maybe that's what the ?? is the upper right. |
 | |||
| #7 Whopee.... I really like the black background with these |
All in all I liked the lesson but found it very difficult to hang the
pieces together. I especially like playing around with orange, green
and violets......will do more with these colors.
I probably over worked every piece.... and have a lot more work which I
decided not to bore you with.. but hopefully I kind of created modular
compositions.
Well on to the next class of Extreme Composition 2... after a brief break for the HOLIDAYS....
