Grids for Paintings: Dividing Grids

Video Transcript

"Another way you can work with your grid is actually to sort of subdivide the grid. And if you can see here, I've got my grid divided into squares, and then I've outlined some of them to make another shape. So you can see sort of this bigger shape which is made up of four squares and then two squares on each end. And I've sort of done that throughout and I've outlined those with black marker. What I'm going to do in the areas that I've outlined with black marker, I'm going to use my triangle motif and color it in. So that you know, I've got, the triangle is the positive motif, here. And then the rest of the square is white. And then the rest of the, of the square is white. So I'm going to do that now. What I'm going to do in these other spaces is that I'm going to again, reverse, reverse the, reverse the positive negative space. And you can actually see, you know I could have left that open and I have like these sort of arrow shapes and you might want to do that too. But for now I'm going to fill it in. So you can see that, you know I'm finding this shape by having filled in this shape here. And I find this edge, I'm going to find this edge of this triangle here. And then some edges you're not going to see unless you have delineated them with that heavy line. So we end up like this."
