Abstract

This abstract piece uses bright shades of blue and green that pop on the canvas and contrast with a few splashes of black. The shapes of the piece are circular but also include more jagged edges. The circles bring in an element of comfort among the sharp angles and of the other elements. There is a small sense of balance between the left and right sides of the picture and the black element with the blue circle found in the middle centers the piece. Those two figures bring the work together. The small circles that are followed by larger circles show the expansion and the growth of the piece. The picture grows outward. The blue colors are cool and give balance to the deep,saturated black shapes of the art. The yellowish-green elements are warmer colors that bring comfort and calm the piece down. The sharp angles of the larger pieces contrast with the rounded edges of the others. The circles were created with the elliptical tool and the larger pieces were created with The Free Select Tool to make hand-drawn regions. To make give the shapes color I used the bucket fill. I used the undo button many times. I found that even with an abstract piece, as an artist there is a particular way you want to position and color specific portions of your work. I modeled this very similarly to my first abstract piece. This one includes much more color, and the frame is much wider.
