Course work: Repainted the colored spots in part i of Stage Three of Project Three, some of them several times in order to get adequate coverage. The yellow spots are more striking on the blue and red backgrounds that the blue and red spots are on the yellow background. The blue spot on the red background, and the red spot on the blue background, appear approximately equal in conspicuity.
Painted the squares to demonstrate brush-marks in part ii of Stage Three of Project Three.
One square was painted smoothly, one was painted with horizontal brush-marks, one with vertical brush-marks, and one with diagonal brush-marks. These were then photographed in frontal illumination, with strong tangential lighting from above, and then from the side, to demonstrate the difference in appearance of the brush-marks with different lighting: a composite image is shown below.
