Final Project 1

After two previous attempts to do a chance-based illustration, for my final work I decided to move my way a bit more toward abstract paintings. so here are the steps I took to get these results:

- Three canvases of the same
- I let paint drops to flow on each canvas, and with steering them I helped to get a better composition. And       also I tried to make curves as well as horizontal and vertical lines. Although I was controlling the drops in some extent, but still the result is a random grid line.
- I repeated the same step 3 times with three different colors. (letting each series to dry, then starting the next color)
- I designed a color palette to fill the areas with.
- To map my color palette to the areas of the painting, I started naming each area by numbers from 1 to 60. each canvas contains around 250 areas, which means I went to through the numbers 4 times for each canvas.
- After naming all the areas, I needed to map my color palette to these numbers, which was done by a Matlab code, Generating 3 series of random numbers, mapping 9 colors to 60 areas. colors are named 1 to 9.
- To have a slightly different weight of colors in 3 canvases, the colors which are number 1 and 2, are weighted twice as others.
- Here is the result!















And now after 2-3 weeks, I felt like I want to continue painting this little cells based on my color table (which was generated with random numbers) so I filled all the cells as my initial idea.
Here is the result!
