Using Value to Create Form

Form

of art. A form is a

(i.e.: sphere, cube, cylinder,
cone, etc.), as opposed to a
shape, which is
two-dimensional, or flat.

Value

For Today, and A Few More Days...

1. Practice Your Mixing Skills (were all a

bit rusty)
2. Practice Creating Form Using Value
and Three Different Color Schemes

The Three Color Schemes:

-Monochromatic
-Complementary
-Analogous

Monochromatic
In A Monochromatic painting,
You Can Only Use One Color,
Plus White and Black.

Complementary
Pairs of colors which, when
combined, a grayscale color like
white or black. They are always
across from each other on the color
wheel.

Complementary
In A Complementary Color painting,
also called Inter Complementary Color,
painting, You Can Only Use One Pair
of Complementary Color, Plus White
and Black.

WAIT!!
What does Monochromatic mean Again?

Analogous
Groups of three
colors that are next
to each other on the
color wheel.

Analogous
In An Analogous Color
Scheme Painting, You Can
Only Use Three Colors that
are next to Each Other on
the Color Wheel, Plus White
and Black.

WAIT!!
What Are Complementary Colors Again?

And...
What Are Analogous Colors Again?
