Hi Everyone! It is a beautiful day outside and a beautiful day to talk in depth about my new creation, High Dimensional 3 Center Blow Out! A very colorful addition to my paintings as this is a lower high dimensional creation. The difference between high dimensional and low dimensional for me is the amount of different colors used. For this painting, I used 10-12 different colors. Some of my other higher dimensional creations you will see a very big difference in as they use upwards of 18-22 different colors. This is done to accent and highlight. Highlights and lowlights. Very similar to taking a photograph. Which is a bit humorous to state because I have had my designs compared to prints or photographs in quality. The more colors you use, the greater quality you will produce!
To start this painting, I laid out a firm foundation of neon yellow in the center is this is the color I wanted to speak the most. An eye catcher!
Next, I outlined the neon yellow with neon green to give this piece an extra popping effect. After that, I place a ring of tropics green and muscat deep purple to give a bullseye layering contrast. Sugar beet pink in the 4 corners, spring green on the sides, then to fill in the rest of the blank space I added a nice pure white for enhancement. Sprinkles of silver metallic and neon blue were added to the inner bullseye to give way to a lighter shimmery effect when blown out. To enhance this painting even further, I could have considered the bullseye with the corners, sides and white a base template for adding in more highlights and low light colors into the colors already added. This is how you create high dimension. You always always start with a good base, then add from there!
And Finally! The blow out! Using my same concept upon which this design was created for, I start by moving some of the paint evenly from the center and blowing out towards the corners. This ensures that I am picking up a proper and even amount of paint with each blow out stroke. Four corners first, then, I come back for the sides. To finish it all up, I go through one more time, this time blowing even strokes all around in the direction of clockwise. This ensures that the paint isn't puddled or pooled up in different areas which would give a different drying effect. Which can be useful if you are going for certain effects. But for this painting I wanted to capture all of the colorings just the way they are in the video for the drying process.
The paint consistency I used for this painting was light to medium light, my neon colors were a tiny bit thicker in consistency as the other colors to ensure that they would mainly stay in the center and not get too carried away out to the sides. I did not torch this piece as I have found a lot less air bubbles within the clockwise blowout technique at the end I've implemented. No tilting required because of that technique as well!
That's all for today! I hope you've enjoyed this posting as well as the video on you tube, to which, I will post at the bottom. If you have any comments, or questions, please leave them at the bottom, as I love hearing from you! Hope your days are well!
Till Next Time!
