This is a 10” x 10” acrylic gouache painting on watercolor paper with the design of a radial astrological chart.

The chart is multilayered utilizing various geometric shapes to create a 3Dimensional effect

There is an outer circular band that extends to the full size of the dimensions and is broken into 12 segments

Each segment contains 1 of the 12 astrological symbols which are grouped by:
-
3 Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) in the upper left corner

3 Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) in the upper right corner
-
3 Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) in the lower right corner

3 Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) in the lower left corner

Process studies of various ideas that I completed prior to picking my final design
These are two colored studies that I completed once the final design was chosen. These two studies allowed me to see the results of intentional color placement.
