Lime and purple were chosen for summer of colour this week – a pair I do use in combination, and also with orange for the full secondary colours triad.
Looking at the two colours on my Photoshop elements screen I felt they were drawing my eyes into the screen and started thinking about hypnotic concentric circles. I created some
Then I copied and collaged some, prompted by the tangle pattern hypnotic
And then for my final A4 size poster I used the 4 collages together
‘squaring the circle’ = to find a good solution to a problem when that seems impossible, especially because the people involved have very different needs or opinions
Squaring the circle is a skill I’ve been known for throughout my working life and seemed appropriate when using square collage of concentric circles.
Looking forward to seeing what others do with this colour combo and which combo is chosen for next week.
Fab-u-lus! Squaring the circle I just love it. You will smile when you see the results of my playing...
