Color Study

Blocks of Colors - Watercolor on illustration board 16" x 18", 2001

A study using only the primary colors to create many colors. There is probably no other [school] project I enjoyed more than this one. My first year at Pratt, in my Light, Color and Design class our professor had us create a grid and then fill each square in with a different color using only primary colored color pencils. A classic art school project, I'm sure; I just had so much fun doing it that I made one on my own with watercolors. There really is rhyme or reason to the layout, I just let the colors flow to where they wanted to be.
