For this project I was inspired by Bernard Frize who's painting of horizontal colorful lines intrigued me. Using a similar concept of lines I created vertical lines that crossed in various places to create an interesting look. About 1/3 of the way (going left to right) I decided to begin to paint in the lines to give myself a visual idea of what it would look like. While I was doing this I came across two ideas. 1. I didn't need to continue for the rest of the paper. The negative space looks very good compared to the blue I created. It also gives me options in the future to paint another figure in the white space. 2. I decided to make a color gradient from yellow to blue instead of just painting all the lines blue. I think this will add another interesting dynamic to my work and hopefully make the final product better.
