Fancy Bottles

The task was to create four abstract paintings based on a cropped photograph, simplifying it and painting it with four different color palettes: Monochrome, Triadic, Square, and Complementary. I chose a photo of bottles and a sphere from my Foundation Drawing class and used the Adobe Color Wheel to select and create digital palettes in Illustrator. Additionally, I practiced mixing colors by painting a color wheel.

For the final design, I divided the background into two sections with a curvy line, merged the sphere with the first bottle, and extended the third bottle to the ground.

  • Monochrome: Turkish blue-green shades
  • Triadic: Butter yellow, brown, red-violet, dark blue, and green
  • Square: Bright yellow, blues, yellow-green, red, and unsaturated orange
  • Complementary: Christmas-inspired red and green
