I have painted another two houses (far right) to add more variety to the wallpaper.
Working in illustrator I have created equally spaced guides so that the pattern will hopefully be continuous across different sheets of wallpaper.
The houses create an interesting affect from a distance because they are not obviously houses. The black doors stand out but they have been randomised so that there are not clumps of black in certain areas.
Applying Colour
I have been trying to find a colour palette that works, searching for inspiration from the brightly coloured houses of Amsterdam and a purple macaroon,
Applying the colour to the houses.
Once they are positioned in coloured rows the colour is broken up by the windows. The colours that contrast stand out the most - the blue, purple and green work well but perhaps the other colours are a bit wishy washy in comparison.
The colour works well to add something extra to the design however I think the lighter colours need to be switched out for something brighter so that they really stand out. Because of the amount of space the windows fill there is really very little solid colour showing - for this reason I think the colours need to be as vibrant as possible.
