The most interesting things to me were the the innovative uses and color mixing. One person was painting with watercolors and even cleaning the brush and switching colors! Another was using overlapping hatching of different colors to mix colors and create different views when up-close or far back (like a printer). The disappointing pieces were the ones that were less identifiable as being drawn by a plotters. Honestly, the things with straight lines that appear the same from a laser printer don’t look all that special. Maybe with materials and inks/drawing implements that don’t look like a laser printer would be better.

Paul Rickards (@paulrickards) created a piece by playing with mixing CMYK colors in hatching patterns. The order of the layers and closeness of the hatching pattern affect the resulting color and effect.
