(i feel the need to add, out of my own disappointment and loss, that i mixed over 800 individual colors for this painting.)

Here is my pixel painting i did for my Color Theory class. i opted for the extra credit (go figure...) and added shapes inside the pixel squares, in the style of Chuck Close.

For best viewing:

You should view them together, enlarged, and stand about 10 feet or so from your monitor. (unless you are unable to enlarge, then a bit closer perhaps.)

(you can also look at it with one eye, or squint your eyes to get the right effect.)
