Series Four.1.2

Series Four.1.2 by *buchanc3 on deviantART

genre: abstract
size: 5" x 7"
medium: watercolor on watercolor paper
date: April 7, 2009

influence: Jackson Pollock

technique: Brush strokes in a vertical fashion, splatters over top.

theme and reasoning: Conflicting colors play against each other. They provide many possibilities in concept.

concept: Considering concept, aesthetics was my only concern. This could easily be interpreted into something with deeper meaning than cool and warm colors. I just liked the way they interact with each other, being opposites. Vertical line creates a sort of unity between the two as it was one of the similarities in them. No matter which way you hang these paintings, each will have line to relate to. As far as unity goes, the black splatters also accomplish this. It is a very obvious solution to making them similar, but I like the turn out.

Series Four.1.2 is hanging on the wall here in Big Rapids, Michigan.
