Color theory to enhance the illusion of “light”
What’s the ‘true color’ of the house?
It depends on the time of day and the weather
The ‘real’ color doesn’t exist independently of the light
Claude Monet painted ‘white marble’ on the Rouen Cathedral in different times of day, showing that color doesn’t exist independently of the light
Since color is “relative,” we use warm and cool versions of each color to enhance the feeling of “light”
Chromatic scale to enhance the illusion of “light”
Lighter b/w value in the light
Brighter intensity in the light
Warmer (orangey) red in the light (vs bluer purplish) in the shadow
Watercolor Technique
Work from light to dark, reserving the white paper where you want white colorAllow each step to dry before proceeding to the next
