excitement of overlapping transparent color gradients – and keeping work stimulating
Scribble 5 – transparent pattern Scribble 6 – gradient fill/overlap
I took the time to do these screen shots – they show the tools and palette as well as the basics with this freehand tool and gradients I use in digital painting.
I think what I wanted to convey is some of the excitement I feel by creating with this medium. If you look at the large version of the scribble on right – you see the different shades of color in the overlap.
When I figured out I could paint with transparencies and gradient transparencies to boot – I went wild.
It is a great thing to be excited by one’s own work – whatever the work. Something which is stimulating and provokes one to learn – there is no substitute for.
