Texture Block Pairings

First pairing: newspaper, boot polish, baling twine

The papery texture of the newspaper paired with the smoothness of the shoe polish and the coarseness of the baling twine is really intriguing to me.  There seems to be a common gray and black color scheme that is interrupted by the bright electric blue of the twine, creating a handsome, eye popping contrast.


The second pairing has probably the most contrast of all.  The smooth, natural green of the leaves next to the snowy white styrofoam and the shredded paper is visually appealing.  I think I may use the styrofoam texture in my project.


Third pairing: I like these textures together because I associate them in my mind since I found them all at the stables.  The consistency of each is very different, and I intentionally left the plywood unpainted because its similar to the color of the wood that the barn is built from, and creates a kind of context for the textures.
