Joseph Albers color illusion exercise. Stare at the point where the two colors meet and watch how the curled line takes on the color of the field opposite it...while verifying that the color of the line is exactly the same on both sides. The lesson: color is contextual; what you perceive depends on what surrounds it.
These are shots taken to learn about composition. Shots were taken in my house or around the compound where I live. In this canvas, there are examples of texture, symmetry, depth of field, leading lines, shadow, shape, and rule of thirds.

Graffiti close to a train station in Cologne seems to reflect the official paint job on the railing, complimenting the grass behind. CF, well done! Paint on, dude...
These three compositions feature many more figures than the drawings of 05-06. The figures represent different age groups and races, and whilst it is not scientific, it does seem a fair representation of Reading's populace on its way to work and school. It is hardly surprising that most of the figures seem to be carrying something, so this to some extent gives the figures a sort of unity as they move through Reading. They people seem tied to the earth whilst the architecture soars upwards.. I’ve attempted to represent the town's medieval buildings in a new light, using rich saturated and simplified colour. However here are the bare bones of each composition.
This photo is very unique to me because although it was sunny out when I took it, the branches of the tree created a shady effect. I like how the needles of the pine tree are so crisp against the clouds in the background. I also tried to incorporate the rule of thirds by having the pinecones off center.
