how to use colour part 2

so to continue
colours are divided into two parts           
the warm colours
and the cool colours





the warm colours:
basically, warm colours are
the shades of
red, orange and yellow.
the colours of fire.
these colours are mainly used for
warmth in the picture, happiness
and a comfortable environment
and also, impulsivness.

for example, this painting
is done with warm colours,
by looking at it, you can tell
that its summer time and
the day is lazy.
the house looks like a home
which is comfortable and is filled
with life and happiness.



now this painting is also done with warm colours
but it doesnt look like
a very happy environment.
the way that the lady's position in sitting is
looks as though she is in tension,
waiting for someone to come.






the cool colours:
so, cool colours are
basically shades of
blue, green and violet.
they are the colours of water.
they  give off a calm and aswell
as a sad feeling towards the picture.  

  


in this painting, the cool colours give
a calm feeling towards it.
you can feel the cold air
of the high mountains.
it looks like a fresh painting.





painting by Picasso

this is also done with cool colours
but you can tell
that the atmosphere is
a lot sadder and deppressing
than the mountain scene.
the picture tells us that
these three people
are poor, hungry and cold.

how to use colour

im pretty sure you all know about the
primary, secondary and tertiary colours

BUT ANYWAYS...

the primary colour wheel:
colours that cannot be created by
other colours mixed together









the secondary colour wheel:
the colours that are created when
primary colours are mixed together;
yellow + red = orange
red + blue = purple
yellow + blue = green





the tertiary colour wheel:
the colours that are created when
primary and secondary colours
are mixed together,
for example:
yellow and red makes orange
more yellow into orange
give an yellow-orange
blue and red makes makes purple
more red in purple gives red-purple

                                                      AND SO ON...


gotta go
finish the rest later...

what is line drawing?


short strokes of lines with colour pencils
line drawing is about
creating a shape with a single or multiple lines.
line creates design and pattern
with the shapes that have been drawn


lines have many differant appearances,
you can draw them in:
1. coloured or plain
2. smooth and flowing
3. jagged and sharp
4. thick or thin
5. long or short
6. curved or straight

line drawing can be created with many
differant types of media,
like colour or graphite pencils, charcol, pastels and pen.


long strokes of charcol
1. short strokes in differant directions
2. messy scribbles
3. short stokes in one direction
3. cross hatching

the elements and principles of art

hey all ,
this is my first post
hope you guys all learn something or another from here:)

so to begin with the elements and principles
there are 6 elements of art:
1. line
2. colour
3. tone
4. volume
5. texture
6. shape

look at anything around you,
and fill in the elements for exampe,
a piece of chocolate:

1. LINE
the bumpy and straight lines of the chocolate that make the little blocks

2. COLOUR
the dark brown colour with a tinge of white and light brown

3. TONE
where the light hits the chocolate at the most angle
and where there shadows overlapping the little blocks

4. VOLUME
the overall 3D shape of the chocolate

5. TEXTURE
the smoothness of the back and the small ridges at the front of the chocolate

6. SHAPE
the rectangular chocolate block with its little square sections

so that basically describes chocolate
in MY point of view with the
elements and principles of art
next would be how to do line drawing
hope you enjoyed...

byeeeee :)
