CAROLINE'S COLOR TIP: "VALUE is worth a lot!"
"Value is a most significant color characteristic. Dark/light contrast is key to visual impact. Through comparison of such differences our brains perceive objects and determine depth. Light things stand out against dark backgrounds. Dark ones show up better against light. Strong darks and lights together read as close; lack of value contrast reads a distant. If working strictly in black and white, it is easier to represent form and lighting without the distraction of color. Since we don't live in a black and white world, painters must become aware of value differences among colors, both in the subject and on the palette. Test your color-value acuity... take a B&W digital shot of your work or convert a color image to grayscale in a computer photo application. If the image holds up in black and white it will present boldly in color" - Caroline

| BROWN is earthy and sensuous, yet at times dirty. Browns like chocolate or coffee seem deliciously appealing. Less attractive browns suggest decay. Siennas and umbers straight from the tube are the rich and beautiful browns. Palette mishaps, mixtures of many colors, produce the dull and dirty versions. Consider potential connotations that colors carry with them when selecting or mixing color for your paintings. |
