3 -- Expression using planes

Let's overlap shapes using a convenient material called Color Tone. The color of the underneath shape mixes with that of the upper shape, and an intermediate color is created. This way "reducing color mixing", explained in the study of color, can be easily obtained. But, there is no change of the shape. In other words, both the upper shapes and the bottom shapes are well seen. Moreover, because it partly piles up, a feeling of transparency is formed there.

There are simple methods such as shading where a poster color is sprayed using a wire gauze and a brush or an air brush. Paints become extremely small particles and they mix with each other. Therefore, without influencing the shapes in the same way as the in case of the color tone, the overlapped configuration is expressed by the color taste and the change in the concentration. It composes a feeling of transparency.

Transparent overlapping can be created by double exposures (multiple exposures) or double prints in photography.
