Watercolor Delight



Kandinsky's magical works involve a soft background of color which seems to be a repetitive theme and technique. Brilliant because he adds strong lines on top and directors the viewers eye with his dominant sense of color. His paintings are truly orchestral. He leads with a wave of his hand and your eye moves with his gestures.

The computer can imitate these watercolor backgrounds by having rims on the edge. The stronger and more frequent the brush is pressed down the deeper the color becomes. Like traditional media, the color below interacts with the color painted. Different colors have different reactions. Kandinsky surely would have used this technique to create his backgrounds. Let the foreground dance as it may.
