Part 2: Planning color
As necessary, remember to use your color book as a resource for this part of the assignment.
From the web site below choose a painting and describe its mood and color scheme for your own painting.
Return to the web site with all of the paintings, along with the color web site.
Follow the steps below for your color planning:
1. Choose a painting.
2. Create a new word document, and insert the image of the painting you have chosen.
3. Below the picture, write the name of the painting, the name of the artist, and the date of the painting.
4. Next describe the color scheme by doing the following:
a. List ALL the colors you see in the painting, be specific by describing colors beyond the secondary.
b. Which are the dominant colors?
c. What kind of color scheme is it? (Monochromatic, etc.)
d. Finally, describe the mood of the painting and explain how the colors help to create this mood. This is the mood that you will be striving to recreate in your own painting.
Once you have finished this document, print it up. You are ready to begin your painting! Hold on to the printout – it is part of the assignment!
