I did a color study with layers of thread using purple, orange, yellow, blue, white, red, and green threads to try to mimic some skin color and the transition from fair skin to dark skin. I am very happy with how it turned out, particularly the lighter color. I still need to work on making the darker color more brown. To me all the different color threads and how they change from different angels is emotionally evocative and vibrant. A photograph cannot portray well the way this looks in real life and how the color study looks different as you look at it from different angles. There is a black foam core background behind the threads and I think it really brings out the colors. This makes me think that maybe I should present my final project setting it against a black painted wall.
