Painting 2: Reversed Grounds

At first glance, it may appear as if there are 4 different colors here, but there are actually, in fact, only 3. The X's are one color, but the viewer's perception of color is altered by the color behind. For this assignment, imitate this effect using 3 different colors- notice how the X color is actually a mixture of the 2 grounds. Experiment with this one- try to use different colors than the one I am presenting here- the more examples we have of different degrees of this effect the better! You can paint on any surface you would like, just remember that the neater you are with solid color and hard edges, the better the effect will be (you can use tape) Due 2/20.
