Test Patterns Test Patterns Test Patterns

Here's another Test Pattern painting that I finished yesterday. The first image below is the original 4 x 3-1/4" collage that I did last week and the following three images are of the completed 6-1/2 x 8" painting. Media includes collage, gouache, acrylic, ink, gesso, and colored pencil on laminated panel. I think I prefer a horizontal orientation for this one- it reads more as a landscape and seems more balanced than it does vertically.

Finally, another Test Pattern collage study - I'll probably do a larger painting from this one as well (after I finish the one I'm currently working on - stay tuned...):
