Picture Gallery ~ Drawing with Bezier Curves

The graphic above is the result of an exercise to explore the technique of drawing with bezier curves – the digital equivalent of using French and adjustable curves at a standard drafting table. Shapes can be defined with considerable precision, and filled solid or with graduations among 256³, or 16,777,216 different colors.

If the pattern pictured is not immediately identifiable as a common object, perhaps this will help. It was the funky old saucepan we kept on the stove top the winter of 2005-6 to put a little extra moisture into our high desert air. I happened to notice an intriguing reflection in it one morning, and snapped a quick picture. The stove top and saucepan's handle are masked by the artificial indigo background, also defined by a bezier curve.
