SUBJECT TREATMENTS AND APPROACHES 4

Diamonds and Dust, Unfinished. Diagonal Emphasis

Organic with Geometric Elements and Linear Textures.

The image above also contains both organic and geometric shapes with a diagonal emphasis Diagonals often suggest depth or distance.

The shapes suggested by working with textured and patterned layers, using modes to achieve variations were not intentionally arranged to create a figure or figures. They are still rather ambiguous.

I like the shapes enough, that when I finish this image, I would alter the placement of some of the shapes and movements to create a more clear figure or figures. I would try to retain the abstracted feeling, by teasing the shapes out of this accidental beginning by  accenting with light or dark. Depth would be defined by values that move around the figures. I would choose to emphasize the roundness of the  subject(s) in light and dark.

The name, intuitively chosen from the diamond pattern and the colors, still fits.

The image for this post is presently hiding. I found the image on an old blog from 2010 that
has been replaced by another blog by the same name, RZ Writestuff.
