The paintings above are examples of different styles and uses of colour. Using a colour scale creates a different look and emphasises the lighting in the picture, creating a more realistic portrait. Using blocks of colour gives a portrait a different look in that it is less expressive of the lighting in a painting and more focused on the colour contrast.
The paintings above demonstrate the different colours and scales of using colour. The colour wheels show the different colours of both warm-toned and cool tones colours. The colour contrast exercise shows the way that different colours look when placed against another colour.
