Grids for Paintings: Changing Pattern Size

Video Transcript

"Another way to modify the grid and one that starts to become a lot of fun, is when you gradate the grid. In other words you make the size of the grid squares progressively smaller and then progressively larger. What you end up is something like this. Where the H's, what I've done on this one is, the H's here, you can see them are big there and then they get small and they're getting smaller here in the center. And towards the bottom so you get kind of this movement down here and in. So it kind of curves in. And the way that you do that is again you have a grid. And I'm going to draw this one so you can see it better. So you have your outside of your grid. You have the outside of your grid. And you can divide this many ways. And what I've done is I've decided to get smaller in the center. So you can either eyeball this or measure this whichever way you know, you want to go. And you can see that we've got real small in the center and that we're getting larger as we move out. And you do the same thing in the other direction."
