I decided to do a geometric pattern for Day 16′s painting.
The colors in real life are closer to those in the second image that shows the detail of the pattern. The peach is SUPER bright, almost florescent, and the dark, bright purple is really rich in person.
This is a gouache painting that covers the entire 6in square piece of Fabriano Artistico 140lb paper.

I like that I get to see a new painting pretty much everyday. Good design inspiration for me
Thanks Jess! The last 2 days have been a little late, but I’m back on schedule now!
The way you handle colors is amazing.

Brights + geometric, can’t go wrong with that combination!
I’m imagining brightly-coloured books flying around, scattering their stories!
I actually saw the same thing as I was working on it. Thinking of making a more recognizable book pattern!
