Albedo 0.30

Graphite and watercolour on canvas [50 x 40cm]


This panting is a study made using the same geometries as the recent Posca work but here is filled using a system of three blended colours alternating in left to right, top to bottom rotation within each shape. I have been making more and more drawings with this system to better understand the various interactions. 

Here, perhaps because of the use of expired watercolours, the result has strange echoes of early 20th century abstraction like those made by artists like Paul Klee or Sonia Delaunay (this was unintentional).

I am continuing experimentation with these forms, persisting with intuitive colour relations and with the purchase of a new watercolour set I expect this work to evolve further.
