"As the world
turns (2)"
________
Being able to use colors consciously and harmoniously can help creating spectacular results.
@OLGarts
Studio I teach my students all the "secrets" about colors -sent as an electronic art bulletin
(PDF file) by email- (using Pages for
Apple
Computers), with a wealth of
information and workable art links.
Every lesson my students will be a
presented a
sophisticated Keynote power-point
presentation.
When the students go home they get
hand outs for their art binder.
In August we'll explore the factors that
affect color and other influences that
play a powerful role, as a key to
selecting appropriate colors for a specific
painting.
It will definitely help my
artist students to create harmonious
color schemes easily and quickly.
________
It's ALL about
COLOR!
Color can be your
most powerful design element if
you learn to use it effectively.
Much research and experimentation has
been done on COLOR.
With
colors you can set a mood, attract
attention, or make a statement. You can
use color to energize, or to cool down.
That being said, you may
want to think carefully on the type of
color scheme you choose for your next
painting.
Painting is all about harmony.
Harmony
in a painting is when the arrangement of
colors and objects are pleasing to the
viewers eyes. As a painter you can either
put too much into a painting or not
enough. If your painting is too chaotic
you may scare the viewer away. On the
other hand, if your painting lacks
something, it may be perceived as
boring, and your viewer will not be
engaged, so it's important to have
balance in your color
arrangements.
