There is an overpowering use of cool colors in the painting as the different shades of blue in the water control the overall mood of the painting. The bits of green used in some flags, boats and an area of the water to the right of the painting help to keep that coolness. The use of the warm red, yellow, and orange colors help to warm up the painting just a bit by adding a bit of “pop” to it. All of the warm colors are very intense and appear to be pure. The monochromatic harmony of the blue water has different levels of intensity as the dark blue has a lower intensity.…
The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…
The main colours in the visual are orange, red, and black. These colours suggest emotions and mystery. The colour red suggests anger and rage, which is possibly felt by the main character at one point in the novel, and the colour black can create a sense of mystery. By just the colours, we can know that there is going to be mystery, anger and rage revealed in the novel. The distinction between the light and the dark gives a sense of mystery and foreboding.…
To grasp and appreciate what colore means we have to travel back to the source, to cinquecento Venice. A city built entirely on top of a lagoon with an atmosphere that is hefty and humid. If one could picture it, it would be unmistakable that the reaction of water, light and dampness would create the illusions of unfocused figures and shapes. Venetian artists were trained, if one could say, with an eye to perceive these ‘receptions of light’. Thus making them more attentive to the change of atmosphere and how this in turn would change how a something would appear - unlike the Florentine artists who preferred to paint figures “more as they knew them to be.”(ibid)…
This painting uses the shapes of the clouds to shield the sun’s rays in a way that resembles a sheath for the sword, only this time the sheath holds the sunlight and the blue sky themselves. And through the light’s revealing, the single small incandescent boat in the far distance is readily noticed. Within the sailboats and the waves forms is the shape of triangles. The tops of the houses also have triangular shapes to them. The oval shape of the flying birds resembles the clouds and adds to the skyline a lively repetition that draws the eye towards the lone ship in the distance. As the waves seem to move to…

The work has a grid that spans across the canvas and appears sporadically throughout the painting. Pousette – Dart breaks away from the cubist structure to include diamonds, circles, ovals, arcs, teardrops and crosses. Occasionally, you can almost make out an object, potentially a bird in the lower left or a flower in the lower right. The grid and shapes are very apparent and clearly outlined, however, the image as a whole seems to shift in and out of focus possibly because Pousette-Dart wanted a piece of art that was “mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.”…
On the Fontebasso art piece the color scheme has a lot of cool color scheme. The painter decided to do it this way to where you can calmly look at everyone and feel at peace. You can tell that something serious is going on. The color scheme defiantly helps guide the viewer look at the picture and doesn’t mislead the viewer from…
The painting has so many different colors, which is combined and put together in the most harmonious way. The color orange in the painting…
The second, most striking demonstration of the use of abstraction in this painting is Van Gogh’s simplification of the form of the elements of the scene – the stars, buildings, the mountains, the trees, etc. Van Gogh’s signature stylistic use of brush strokes is extremely simple. Consequently, nothing in the depiction of this small village is given much detail. In lieu of rendering a painting which attempts to replicate the exact detail of the village as he once perceived it, Van Gogh purposely exchanges detail…
“Throughout his career, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) attempted the paradoxical task of representing night by light. His procedure followed the trend set by the Impressionists of "translating" visual light effects with various color combinations. At the same time, this concern was grafted onto Van Gogh's desire to interweave the visual and the metaphorical in order to produce fresh and deeply original works of art.” –MoMa (museum of modern art.) Van Gogh briefly yet fulsomely explores his special relationship with the darkness. His colours provide and tendency but also an urgency. The clashing of all the colours is exaggerated and visually dramatic. The dominance of the yellow…
The colors in this piece are not just Van Gogh 's favorite colors, they also represent a much bigger picture. He uses for example, the color red on the walls which symbolizes blood and darkness. The red and…
This painting used colors with rules. It used two triadic color scheme and a neutral color. It used the three primary colors, three secondary colors and brown. Virgin Mary could be identified base on the ultramarine blue dress she wore, for the reason that this color was always used on her . White was solely used on Jesus, nuns and Virgin Mary's headdress.…
The painting is inspired by the view outside of van Gogh’s asylum room in Saint-Rémy-De-Province, with an addition of an ‘ideal village’ taking up space in the downward periphery of the artwork. There are small houses and buildings drawn at the bottom of the painting, a half crescent moon at the top right corner and the depiction of a church with a broad steeple.…
