Obsidian & Sandstone Foliage

Description

• Visual Dispersion (Tonal): The primary black and brown leaves exhibit “Internal Tonal Gradienting.” The pigment is most saturated at the center or base and disperses toward the edges, creating a “carved” or volumetric look that mimics light hitting a curved surface.

• Pigment Dispersion (Fluid): The tan/beige “ghost” leaves show “Atmospheric Diffusion.” The pigment is dispersed so thinly that it appears as a soft shadow or a light stain, providing a quiet background layer that anchors the darker, more aggressive foreground forms.

• Linear Dispersion (Striated): The grey and white leaves feature “High-Frequency Linear Striation.” Instead of solid fills, the color is dispersed in fine, parallel lines that follow the leaf’s anatomy, providing a textural contrast to the smooth, solid washes of the obsidian forms.
