Structures 2

Structures 2

Gouache and Ink on paper, 4x4

The concept I wanted to explore in this painting was the evolution of color, form, and line beginning with yellow in the upper left and quinacridone rose in the upper right.   I wanted an area in the upper right quadrant to be the focal point and sketched in a few lines to guide the forms.  As I added prussian blue and white to the mix and extended the red/lavender, these forms and transitions evolved.
