COLOUR AND TONE

This sun represents a colour chart,warm and cool colours. As in the picture think of the warms as being the closest so there for the ‘hottest’ colours and the cool colours having cooled off as they move further away from the heat..

Colours have a direct impact on ones mood. This warm colour scheme creates a ‘warm’ homely feel.

Colours have have both positive and negative attributes. With these warm colours it can create feelings anywhere from happiness to

violence.I almost feel as though there is negativity engulfing the town as the

clouds approach. Personal opinion..

We associate colour to feelings, in this case love.

Although there are more cool than warm colours here, we still see them contrasting well with each other. Lovely relaxing feeling to this painting.

Here the warms and cools are clashing. It makes me uneasy and i cant look at it for to long without becoming annoyed. They should of stuck to one colour code.

Here we have cool colours, anything

from violet to green.

Cool colours are said

to have a calming

and relaxing effect.

This artist has used

cool hues of blue, using lighter for

highlighting and darker

for shadows.

Just a random painting I found. I find it very upsetting, almost separating good from evil, evil being the red warm tones that we associate ‘hell 'with. Cool tones heaven.

Interior design colour

schemes are chosen tocreate a calming

environment..

Colour tones is how light or dark a colour rather than what the actual colour or hue is. It’s the use of the same colour in different

shades.

Black and white tones

are used very cleverly

here to create a ‘multi-visual’

picture.

Dark tones in this picture take what is meant to be a happy Disney character and make it feel dark and

gloomy.

Lighter hues of colour produce smaller ranges

of tone. Here the sky (horizon) and the

ground are of the same tones. Shading and

highlighting is used. See the cloud with what

looks like the sun behind it. Lighter

shades are used for this. And the cut-off for

the horizon, darker tones.

Tones are used to make paintings look more realistic and 3D.

Tones are also used to create a focal point. The eye focuses on the light element against the dark. See the lady in white.

Once again tone used to create a realistic feeling. One can imagine how flat and life-less it would look in one tone of colour.

‘en grisaille’done purely in

gray tones. Different tones (light and dark)

creating different levels

and layers. Although it’s all

one tone, there’s no

feeing of incomplete. It

works.

We all have

different skin

tones..
