Thanks to a brief moment of sunlight here I could make a very clear picture.

I will be where they did this for 3 weeks ;)

fake Light, 1st TW pass (in progress…)

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO MAGNIFY IT!

The lightness will change as if there was a perfect lamp at 17 cm from the center of the figure.

The white structure appears really “transparent.”

This geometrical solution could be called the “pixel solution,” since the surface is divided in 2×2 cm squares, other solutions are possible and will be tried later on the study: concentric zones, gradients… The only color added to the grey background is Titanium White (TW), later I’ll try color, enjoy ;)

Fine-tuning of titanium-White and carbon-Black to “match’ the lightness of the grey background. Bizarre: following my measurements it was supposed to disappear in the middle, maybe a mistake…

just before vanishing

 

One more layer of color and the entire section will appear grey, and the circular zones will disappear.

a little problem

CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO ZOOM!

The central segment of the figure is too dark, result: instead of becoming invisible the circular zone in the middle appears brighter than its surroundings… As corners do…

Its probably because of the wear affecting the tracing instrument. It might be possible to correct this with white lines, but it will be complicated! See you there soon….

3 x disparition

This is the final test: does grey circular samples made of bright colors and their grey surroundings made of black lines appear the same, or: visually equivalents. In other terms: do the color-made samples disappear?

It works quite well for these 3 first ones. 5 to go with the opposite problem: black-made samples, colored-lines made surroundings…

After this the question could be: what is the exact distance at which such optical colors mixtures become a “color field,” and how to know (calculate, predict…) it?

Well made measures: no visual difference between the circular zone in the center, made of 4 colors, and its direct surroundigs made of black lines. :) :)

(blink if you dont see it!)

m-spiral 2: this is the 1st part

CLICK TO ZOOM!

The 8 circles are “metameric,” they share the same visual values. Well… they share color parameters: Hue, Brightness, Saturation, and are as I say “visually equivalent” at a certain distance (here something like 2-3 meters.) However, at a close distance they’re very different:

2      3      4

1                            5

8      7      6

Sample #1, two colors: cadmium Yellow n°2 + Ultramarine Blue greenish extra

#2, 3 colors: cadmium “cinnaber” Red + a mixture between Turkish Blue Light & cadmium Yellow n°2 + Ultramarine Blue greenish extra

#3, 4 colors: cobalt Violet light brilliant + the Green + “cinnaber” + Ultramarine xtra

#4, 5 colors: cob Violet LB, mix Green, “cinnaber,” Turkish dark, Ultramarine xtra

#5, #6, #7, #8: all made of “lamp Black,” in different geometrical configurations

(All pigments are from the Kremer catalogue)
