Colour Strips : Relaxed

The whole

Heading this whole mini-project is the whole. The starting graphic from which I've then take strips out of. Nothing fancy here. Using basic paint tools I coloured in half the screen in different colours, and overlayed several bits and pieces. It looked very messsy.

Then, I reduced the colours to 16. Scaled up by 200. Did a Gaussian blur (strength 6), and did the same thing again.

Finally, I reduced the image to a 16 colour palette once final time. The result was a 2800x1200 image, which you can download below.

I encourage you to download this file, and look at it full scale. Really, its just a big blur of colour, but because of its large scale, and smooth curves there are many interesting shapes to be found.

Portions

Below are some block portions of the larger image. I just like the shapes that they form.

Strip 7: A portion from the lower right of the whole.

Strip 8: Blob from the bottom left of the whole.

Strip 9: Island portion from top left of the whole
