For my visual design class, actually the first painting, so this is pretty old o_O Anyways, we were supposed to do a series of paintings (in acrylic), black and white, chroma gradation, all grays, and tints and shades; then put it into something about alchemy. So… what most reminds me of alchemy are birds, since when they’re born they’re… kinda… bleh, but once they grow their feathers they can take flight ^^ (Plus it seems most birds symbolically represent change and intuition… ) This one’s the first in the series, the black and white, (simplicity, not exactly the most beautiful thing, just beginning to see forms).
