The Signs of the Zodiac

Full view and small view please.



Zodiac Credits
I put this together so you can see all 12 of my Zodiac pieces together, and in the proper order. I also wanted to speak a little bit more about this project, as it has completely obsessed me for the last 2 weeks.

I wanted each work to have a specific color associated with it, because I was very concerned about repetition and relying too much on my usual color schemes. I carefully planed to have each set based on a different color concept.

First, the Fire signs Aries/Leo/Sagittarius are all opposites Purple/Orange, Blue/Yellow, and Red/Green.

Second the Earth signs Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn are all earth colors, Brown, Green, and Black.

Third the Air signs Gemini/Libra/Aquarius are each a primary color Yellow, Blue, and Red.

Finally the Water sings Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces are each a multiple color set.





The backgrounds I used each had to do with the element associated with the sign.

For instance the Fire signs Aries/Leo/Sagittarius all had fire backgrounds which I made using s fire brushes.

The Earth signs Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn all had the same muddy paint texture background by All I did was change the color of it for each piece.

The Air signs Gemini/Libra/Aquarius all had a canvas cloud texture (the same picture with the colors changed) also by

And finally the Water signs Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces all had a watercolor painting texture (the same picture with the colors changed) by
