Module 1 – Resolved Work Drafts

Draft 1 – Geometric Without Colour
Draft 2 – Simplified the shapes to tessellating triangles and concentric circles (Colour in dry watercolour pencil)
Draft 3 – Stacked and concentric circles (Colour in dry watercolour)
Draft 4 – Alternate stacked and concentric circles (Colour in wet watercolour pencil)
Draft 5 – approaching final draft, returning to draft 2 concept
Draft 6 – Warm colour wheel on canvas board.
Was originally the final resolved work, however I didn’t like the purple/purple-gradients that it created.
Decided each primary colour should be divided into warm and cool, then mix colours in a way that made more pleasing colours.
