Art Journal (2) Rhomboidal Rain

January 20, 2022

In this exercise I tried for much more value contrast, of which there was not so much in exercise #1. Also: both hard and soft edges, blended and unblended shapes. I think the final blended – unblended ratio is is out of balance. There should be more of the latter. The descending rhombus shapes, then the circles, were a late addition which finally made the composition come to life. (Made this with Procreate; need to try real paint soon).

Today, a big step forward: I signed up for a class at the Art Students League of New York: Bonner-Abstraction. Hope to learn lot.
