Chromatographics

The aesthetic potential in analizing colors components.

A line, dot, circle or arch is drawn with a felt marker on filter paper regular used in laboratory. Preferably using a mixed color such as brown, purple, black or orange. After watering the paper or dribbling water with a pipette the single color components are leaving in different speed and become visible step by step.
This technique is commonly used to analyze chemical mixtures and is called chromatography.

Those graphics generate interesting arrangements that could end up in templates for prints, embroidery or carpet pattern.
