Colour_Fields

I have been having a lot of fun getting Processing to sample my drawings and create colour maps, it is a bit more complicated than that, but not a lot...

 

Spain again...

Off to Valencia soon to deliver on a promise I made last summer, I have packed a small drawing kit (no slate or chalk) and this reminded me I had not posted any of the Peniscola drawings made in the summer of 23, so here they are some of them...

Ephemeral Drawings

After working with Inktense on paper for some months or years (I honestly cannot remember) I have had a spell working on slate with chalk, same process, draw a depth pass, then draw a colour study and combine later, here are some examples... 

A big part of the fun is erasing them after a quick iPhone photo...the images are twice the size of the previous series and exploit more 3D techniques

Here is a breakdown of the working process, B/W drawing, colour drawing, depth map, colour shader added to the depth plus virtual glass

and if you have any red/cyan glasses, try this view

Here is a sequence showing the virtual glass block

First drawings for April in the a series of landscape drawings made in the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs AONBs, mainly based around the river Thames. I make two drawings, a black and white depth map, and a colour version with less tonal information, the two are combined and rendered to give more depth and texture to the finished image. I am planning to keep a number of my favourite ones together as a changing group to see them as a set, search for jonathanspencer on saatchiart.com or click here https://www.saatchiart.com/jonathanspencer

This Sunday it was back up to the 'four fields' which I think of as the 'four chairs', due to some discarded but serviceable green garden furniture, good to sit on whilst drawing. I used some wax resist (a candle) for the colour versions this time which was great fun as I didn't know quite where the marks were or what their effect on the colour would be, the second one down shows just how far this can mess it up. I will do this again.
