I am pretty new to tikz and my goal is to draw a generic wind turbine blade such that I can fill it with colors shading from green (left) to red (right) like a colormap plot I hope you get the idea.
With my current skills I could draw the blade in a line by line fashion, but I would like to learn how to do it in a "smarter" way such that I easily can color the figure within the lines.
With tikz \shade command:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\shadedraw[left color=green,right color=red] (0.6315,3.6977) .. controls (0.7398,3.5492) and (0.7503,3.3778) .. (0.6550,3.3151) .. controls (0.5597,3.2523) and (0.3948,3.3219) ..
