For this project I chose to work with bright colors. The first composition I created is made up of analogous colors. I felt that by using colors next to each other on the color wheel, my composition would be more harmonious. I counteracted that harmony by sporadically placing dots all over the image. The large light blue shapes have hard lines coming to points leading the eye around the composition. I liked creating shapes with flat color because it was easy to set up a bunch of different compositions.
After the first image was complete, I chose colors I like. The purple and orange landscape only uses two colors at different opacity levels. The purple has more blue than red so the orange works out nicely. The colors are simpler than those in the first image, due to the fact that I only worked with two, but the technique is more complicated.
For the last composition I started working with too many colors. I had to narrow it down to a limited color palette. I ended up, on accident, working with the complementary colors blue and orange again. However I changed the opacity levels because the blue I started with was bright and obnoxious. So now it looks like shades of green, which is more muted and not so irritating. Another reason I softened the color is because the composition is rather busy.
