FREE online courses on the Art Appreciation Basics - Analyzing the subject of a painting - Light and Color

 

It seems simple, but look at the colors in works of art. Are they bright? Muted? Are they all similar or does it look like Walt Disney threw up? And what about the light? Where is the source light? Is it sunlight? Candlelight? Headlights? How does the light affect the mood?

 

The way that color and light come together is a big part of many works of art. The thing to keep in mind as you're looking at this stuff is that it's not a photograph (unless, of course, you're looking at a photograph). Thus, every color, shadow, and highlight had to be put there by hand. Did they do a good job? With experience you'll be able to confidently judge. Or confidently fake it, which is what most art-types do anyway.
