Circles without lines

I have called this circles without lines because I have created circles without drawing the outlines. It is another trick of the eye where we figure out that these shapes are circles.

I started by cutting out various sized circles into a couple of pieces of A4 card.


I used these circles to dab paint through, stamp through and stencil through.
I chose a selection of PA fresco paints and archival inks.
By dabbing the paint and ink through making it stronger at one side, it gave the illusion of 3D.
I have used PA stamps also for a little text interest.
The hardest thing was balancing the composition and keeping the white background clean.
Pleased with the finished result....has endless possibilities!


I am entering this into the PA challenge.

    I really admire the way you kept the white clean!!! I am the world's worst for messing up everything by getting paint where it shouldn't be! All in all this looks really fabulous! I adore illusions like this of 3D. Great work, Hazel. You never fail to inspire! xxx
