Color and Light
Color Relationships - Chapter 6
Monochromatic Schemes
Artwork composed of any single hue taken through a range of value or chroma.
- Throughout history, monochromatic schemes were used to plan the value process in painting.
- All that is needed is one tool (graphite, charcoal, one hue of paint, etc.)
Warm and Cool
The idea of warm and cool is all in the viewer's mind but the effect is real.
Warm and cool colors tend to be thought of as the top and bottom of the color wheel, respectively.
Emotion can be played to when using certain colors in certain scenes. Also, it can be played to when placing certain colors next to one another in a scene.
Colored Light Interactions
Additive color mixing: one light is added to another when mixed together on a plane.
Complementary shadow colors: If you have two light sources of different colors shining on the same form, the cast shadow from each light source will be the color of the other source.
Triads
Composed of any three basic colors, but not necessarily full-chroma colors.
- Pick three colors. (Could be anything)
- These different colors go through a whole set of variations to make up the scene.
Color Accent
An accent attracts the eye to the center of interest.
Color accents are usually a complement or near complement.
If most the image is monochromatic, a complementary color accent can help liven your color scheme.
