🔺 Geometric Rainbow Pattern of Triangles

 

029 Geometric Triangles

I have finally completed this bright and colourful experiment.  I love how such a simple design has made such a colourful impact.  The colours and brands I used are listed below, starting from the centre.

1. Winsor & Newton Galleria - Mars Black
2. Pebeo Bottled Matt Acrylic Paint - Brick Red
3. Pebeo Bottled Matt Acrylic Paint - Blackcurrant
4. Pebeo Bottled Matt Acrylic Paint - Fushia
5. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Violet (450)
6. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Ultramarine (123)
7. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Indigo (127)
8. Pebeo Studio Acrylic High Viscosity opaque - Cyan (49)
9. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Coeruleum Hue (130)
10. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Emerald (335)
11. Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic - Leaf Green (355)
12. Pebeo Studio Acrylic High Viscosity opaque - Jaune (48)
13. Pebeo Studio Acrylic High Viscosity Transparent - Magenta (50)

The Daler Rowney Graduate Acrylic needed a Flow Enhancer to make it a bit more workable.  I used Daler Rowney's Flow Enhancer and even then it needed 2 coats to give a good covering.

In this small project I have drawn shapes onto a small panel and coloured them with some bright vibrant rainbow colours.

I then covered it over with Masking Tape and with a black sharpie pen I drew a design on top.  In this case I drew some bubble letters saying Smile! and then carefully cut round the design with a craft knife and removed the tape.  You can probable guess what the next step was.

I do love Rainbow Colours contrasting with black or silhouettes so here I went again with another experiment!

Once the Black paint was dry, I peeled off the rest of the tape and this was the finished piece.

Just a little project today.  Still liking working with tape, though I will have to think about getting more.  Today I am using an Electrician's insulating tape so I can see if it bleeds at all.  I am also working on Canvas board so a tape with a stronger adhesion can be used.

So I have started on my experiment today.  Working opposite to my other works I have taped onto blank canvas and using Black at the moment as my segment filler.  I have painted two layers of black.

Taken the tape off after two layers of Black

If you look closely here I have penciled in lines that define whether the colour goes over or under another, and I have also added the colour name just to make it easier.  

It now is as simple as 'Paint by Numbers'

This is how it turned out.  I originally called it 'Maypole' because it reminded me of the ribbons crossing over and under when girls used to dance around the Maypole to celebrate May Day at Whitelands about 40 years ago.  But when I had completed it, it actually reminded me of the very beginning of the opening titles of the 1970's kids TV programme 'Rainbow.'

So its official name is 'Rainbow Ribbons'
