Landscape at Twilight




Using Van Gogh's Landscape at Twilight, I created a system to estimate the percentage of the six most prevalent colors in the painting.  I created a 1/8" grid system over the painting and counted the percentage of colors in each horizontal row across the painting.  The two graphs demonstrate this process.  The first set of circle graphs corresponds to each row, starting in the top left corner with the first row, and ending with the last circle in the bottom right corresponding with the lowest row in the painting.  This graph was hand-printed using a silkscreen.  The second graph is a bar graph with a similar pattern,  with the left most set of bars relating to the first row in the painting.  Joel Beeby
