- I will use a limited range of hues, but I will focus on creating complexity with different intensities of the chosen hues. My ideas are rarely about color itself, so I don't want it to get all the attention.
- I plan on testing out how various tints, tones and shades of color play off of each other. Instead of using a monochromatic palette, which I have become used to, I will explore and make use of color.
- Earth colors and chromatic rays are not eye-catching or especially distinctive, but interesting shapes and contours can still create impactful aesthetics. Images that consist of these usually boring, dull and 'dirty', or low-intensity colors, have neutral connotations that may be suitable for broad audiences.
- When an intense color is added, it is going to deviate in depth and emotional response. A hint of an intense color is most likely going to become the center of attention of the piece.
What are the differences in use of color in Andrew Wyeth's Wind from the Sea and Richard Diebenkorn's Interior with Book?
- "Wind from the Sea" has a earthy color palette with monochromatic accents. The painting focuses on capturing the light of a farm yard on a grey day in a realistic way. This subject matter is why no vibrant or intense colors are used. There is great variation in the intensity of greys and browns, but overall the paintings' color scape is quite boring.
- "Interior with Book" is more consearned with imaging the hidden undertones of colors around us. Trying to portray purity of colors around us, Diebenkorn used very crude, almost stock colors that make the painting reminescent of arte brut. The strong primary colors of blue, red and yellow dominate the image.
