Last night i continued in the expressive spirit of “go ahead and just make a mess,” adding the silhouettes of branches to the Blue Spot painting. (See some section images here.) The scan seems to catch both the pigments, some contrast due to metallic/iridescent pigments, and the textured lines and patterns. It’s better than i’d managed before: photos were either too flat or too much glare. Unfortunately the scanner is too small for the full piece.
I’m still not sure what i’m doing, but that’s not the point, eh?
