This famous compelation of Marilyn Monroe paintings (I'm not sure, but I think they are actually screenprinted) show that the same image can give different feelings, simply by changing the colors. Also, it shows that background colors can be as important as the subject of the painting when it comes to complimentary colors.
(McDuffie)
Using various shades of blue, Jennifer McDuffie's 'Blue Forest' is an eample of a monochromatic color scheme.
(Gind De Gorna)
This black and white, or 'achromatic' painting uses no color to portray color. Each shade of gray translates into a coresponding color. The bright yellow sun is white, while the deeper darker colors are closer to black.
(Afremov)
I've recently discovered Leonid Afremov. AMAZING! This is an example of 'Warm' colored buildings, 'cool' colored night air, reflective light, shadows, and hilights. Many of his paintings use a similar style. Google him. Do it. Do it now.
Week 4 Assignments...
Owl from tutorial
This one was done in prismacolor pencils while following along with the instructor. There is quite a bit of orange... because she took out a color I didn't have! I guess it's a good excuse to go buy more supplies!
Flying owl
Another in charcoal.
Small Owl
Done in charcoal.
