Color Layering and Palette Interpolation

Here’s a technique I’ve occasionally used to make palettes more varied and colors feel more natural. Originally it involved drawing each shape twice at half opacity, assigning a randomized color from the palette each time.

#codeart In this manner we may start with a five-color palette and generate a more varied and complete spectrum. The five colors comprising the palette are in the upper right corner at full and half opacity. Beneath that, the colors resulting from all possible pairings are shown.

Coalesce is coming to SuperRare Friday, July 1st. It’s a collection based on circle packing and simplex noise. What began as a response to a Genuary prompt slowly developed into a larger concept. This project is the culmination of several months’ efforts.

#generative #codeart The collection is divided into styles or sets, consisting of five pieces each. They're set apart by the combination of constraints used to place the circles, giving rise to different forms. Coalesce is the name of the collection as well as the first series in the collection.
