Painting Feature

I love geometric/graphic prints. That's why I would of loved to have had my own house in the 60-70's. My husband's taste is contemporary, so to compromise I started making this small geometric painting for a little corner in my sewing room.
I was going to be really authentic and create it using gold, avocado green and brown but thought that blues and greens would be better.

Step 1:
I started with a stretched canvas and stuck blue tape to it to create rows of boxes.


Step 2:
I drew 2-3 squares inside of each box and traced the edge as well
Step 3:
Took 4 colours and started randomly painting the first round of inside the boxes

Step 4:
Took the same 4 colours and painted the second and third round of boxes.
Step 5:
Wait until dry and remove the tape.
Here is the semi-finished product. I just have to fill in the spaces where the tape was.

Stay tuned for my next painting project.
