Degree of Exploration (Stretch and Explore)





In my collection of textures, there are quite a few different pictures and drawings that I used.  Although,  some of them do repeat around the composition.  For example, in this one, I started off with a picture of a lady on a bathroom sign.  You can't really see the texture, but as I mixed it up and used different textures to cover different areas, repeating in some places to make it 'even,' it doesn't end up looking like a flat surface, like it did in the beginning.  Also, I wish I had focused on more of an organic type of composition, instead of industrial, more distinct shapes.
The colors for this one, were varied.  Instead of doing all black and white, or all sepia, it is slightly a mix of both.  I started off with the black and white background, but added some different textures, of the sepia range, on top for effect.

The different textures fit together pretty well. I think if I had more time, then I would have been able to unify the textures more, or make them fit together easier.  It's not like they don't fit together, it's just that they could be more organized, even by the display of the colors.
