The purpose was to obtain the most intense optical effects. He explored the effects of different colour combinations and the use of flat, uniformly applied, hard-edged pattern. Over the next decade he would further refine his investigations into this field. Towards the end of the 1950s Kidner became concerned with making abstract paintings that employed the repetition of simple forms and colour in order to achieve optical illusions, such as vibrating effects, moiré patterns, an exaggerated sense of depth, foreground-background confusion and impression of movement. See the four sketches below: Different types of wavesĭon’t forget about hollow waves, freight-trains, slow-churning or paper-thin waves.With Four Colour Wave, 1965, Michael Kidner attempts to create abstract optical illusions through the repetition of vertical wave shapes in contrasting colours which overlap each other. It could be a reef pass, a beach break or a point break Add land in the background or in the foreground to give the scene some depth. With perspective, you can now create line-up scenes, with multiple waves. The two vanishing points are positioned way out to the right and left: A down the point viewĪ view looking down the point can also be achieved by moving these ingredients around: Various scenes
Both vanishing points are located outside of the image border, one to the left and one to the right: A bird’s eye viewĪ bird’s eye view can be accomplished by moving the horizon line up and completely off the image. And if you move the vanishing point to the right then more of the face becomes visible (see last two images below): A view from a pierĪ high horizon line with two vanishing points off to the right and left makes it appears as though you’re viewing the wave from a pier, looking down on the wave: A paddler’s eye viewĪ paddler’s eye view can be accomplished by placing the horizon line extremely low. Give it a try: A view out of the tubeĪ high horizon line and one vanishing point on the left makes it look as if your face is against the face of the wave and you’re racing for daylight (see first two images below). Vanishing point left: A view into the tubeĪdditional variations can be achieved by moving the horizon line high or low and by moving the vanishing point right or left.
See the two sketches below: A paddler’s view By merely changing the position of these ingredients in your image you’ll be amazed at the variety of waves you can create. The two basic ingredients in perspective are the horizon line (your eye level) and the imaginary vanishing points.
There is only one way to successfully create a variety of angles and that is by using the basic principles of perspective. The key to breaking out of this potential rut is achieved by drawing waves from different angles.
Don’t get caught up trying to draw every foam bubble, you’ll go nuts.Gradually make the lines darker as you get further into the tube. Add shading on the wave face with smaller contour lines.
