I realized that I haven’t posted about the stripe study I have been working on for Level 3 Art and Design. I have many more than these photos but I thought I would just show you a few today. I have been using a variety of media to depict stripes.
This one is created from a gelatin plate print that was cut into strips and applied to a painted background. I wasn’t thrilled with the print as it seemed a bit too busy. But I like it better as stripes on the calmer painted background.
This one is done with colored and black markers. Hubby thought it looked like striped tornadoes. It was fun to draw but took a while.
This last one is one of my favorites. It was painted with watercolors on a wet background. The photo looks more orange than the original. I will have to see if I can get a better photo with better light. It’s amazing the variety of stripes that you can create and how different they can look.
I like the one you made with coloured and black markers – to me it appears to undulate right up off the page!
Thanks Lyn! That one was fun to create.
I like the watercolor. I’m not much of a stripe person, but this reminds me of trees.
Thanks Marilyn, I was trying to create some stripes that might not really be considered stripes at first glance.
