Thread: Color Swatches

Try not to do something too trendy, or something that you will get tired of soon - perhaps some sort of mutated landscape? (if you're going for that cubism theme)

Cubist landscape? Like cezzane?

Sounds like fun.

Can't think of any good ideas apart from:

Get some really young relatives, the younger the better, to help you out and let them do what they want.

Then people will go, "Wow, what is that?!"

Swatches are watches right? I just imagined it, that's going to look so cool if they're all analog with second hands ticking away!!

I would just collect as many unusual colours as possible, and then stick them on in a abstract pattern. Hey, I don't know about this cos I've never experienced it, but could you model it on hypnagogic imagery?

i'd suggest a landscape of your liking (i'd suggest desert at twilight, but what fo i know) but anyways, try making it less blurry than the ablove image, and make the cubs, then make them intertwine as if they were wet paint being mixed slowly.... oh wait, sorry, you said not too complex

well if you want more explanation ill have to find a scanner, a bitch sold mine

sorry, im drinking a 24oz can of camo black ice, and m almost dont... i've been finding myself missing keys and typing backwords..... it took forever to edit this O_O *BELCH*

Thanks for all the help people.!

Ataraxis. I think I may have to take cubism to the extreme, given the fact all I have is 1"X1" squares. I could cut and shape them though.
Something in this manner


But generally cubism is not meant to be viewed very closely. This will be difficult in a small room.

Mutated landscape
hypnagogic imagery.

I like it.

Well, I love Cubism, it`s my favorite style
When I see a Cubist painting I`ve just got to smile
But there`s one painter, I`m his biggest fan
He`s the father of Cubism and his name`s Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism

Some people say that it was Picasso
Other people claim it was DeChirico
Some people think it was Modiglian(i)
But they`re all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a face
He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional space
He said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne.
He was right. Now he`s Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, le père de Cubisme
Well Cezanne`s father wanted him to be an avocat
But Paul just looked at him and said, "Pfff, mais non, pa.
I want to be a painter, I know I can!"
Now his oeuvre`s in the Louvre, he`s Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
Well I had an aunt and she was in a coma
So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMA
We got through the door, you wouldn`t beleive what began
She sat up and started screaming, "Hey, where is that Paul Cezanne?"
Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of Cubism
Paul Cezanne is famous now and I think that`s really nice
`Cause his melons look like footballs and his apples look like dice
So all you would-be painters, get out your brush and can
You may be the next Paul Cezanne, Cezanne
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism
Cezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism

That is a Cézanne that Ataraxis posted.
pj.
The unknown does not scare me, I embrace it. Well I mean things that we do not know. I do fear too many things in our E=MC² world.
But mysticism, OBE's Remote viewing/astral projection auras psychics ghosts, multiuniverses, half of which I don't believe. I am intrigued by the possibilities. Like God perhaps. » Not to be an equal in comparison by any means, but the unknowing aspect with a hint of yearning for.?

Before I began this post , when the idea initially arose, I do what I do. Think about the source. That era led to so many creative ideas it is hard to single out who is the originators of a particular style. I had thought Georges Braque and of coarse Picasso.
When I got home I began to look through my library. What caught my eye; Cézanne and post impressionism.
pj knows what I am talking about here.
Sorry if all this seems irrelevant. But pj has been one post ahead or in concert with the majority of my latest posts.
This is what I mean by my above rambling. Sometime coiencedence seems unlikely.

Anyway!!!!!! Cézanne is over looked, among others.
I think because Picasso took aspects of cubism to create what has now become more mainstream and popular. That ijust my thoughts on that.

Ooops, didn't see that.
