Thanks! I got the scale all wrong though. I think the squares needed to be much smaller on a painting of this size to match his work more closely. However, it was only a study for school...

thanks I guess chuck's work is more circles that the random shapes i used, but i felt i had to shape it a bit more because of the smaller size...and the colours arnt as extreme. Thanks for the kind words

just paint an almost random colour in each sqaure to begin with, then worry about what its meant to look like by adding more...appropriate colours to create the image. meh i hate giving advice - i always think i sound so pretentious

how did you get your technique right?

jaffercake In reply to syphlou [2007-02-27 21:57:51 +0000 UTC]

it's not so much right...as an attemp, i think i penciled in the 'contours' - well the little circles - first and went from there...

ruthless05 [2007-01-22 04:37:46 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful... how did you know how to fragment it? (eg: what colour/shape choices?) It looks just like the real thing

jaffercake In reply to ruthless05 [2007-01-22 15:45:58 +0000 UTC]

umm...it's all guesswork really, if it looks bad you can always just paint over it

Jeesh! well done. You've got all the tones and details in at the same time as making it all split up. So cool. I'm so jealous...you know when you see a piece and think 'I wish I'd thought of that'...
