Wow it’s the first time I see your art and it’s seriously the most creative medium I’ve seen in years! I scrolled through your profile and I love what you’re doing, can’t wait to see more!
Also, if I understand correctly, the color comes from alterations of the light reflection, so it changes according to where you are when you look at it right? Kind of like iridescence?
Thank you so much! Yes, the color comes from alterations from light reflection. It’s difficult to describe, but the changes in color you get from viewing angle aren’t as strong as what you get from a soap bubble, but they are definitely there. If you think of the colors you can get from this process in a spectrum, viewing angle can give you about a half step up or half step down. The spectrum runs from: tan, brown, deep blue, light blue, yellow, magenta, light blue again, purple, green, pearl scent.
I’ve found lighting makes a huge difference though - diffuse lighting like what I have around the house is great. I’ve got some prints hanging in a gallery that only has spot lights, for those you have to make sure there is a path for the light to bounce off the spotlight into your eyes or the whole print just looks faded and grey.
