FORMALISM THEORY

This painting form is composed of its basic elements: color, line, composition, and texture. Color
is, besides the line, the most important element of a painting. We describe the color through
concepts of hue (red, blue, yellow etc.), value (brightness), intensity (purity), saturation,
delineating between primary and secondary colors and considering their complementarities.
Texture is that last piece of the puzzle which gives us the idea of surface quality of an object.
