CROSS HATCHING
Churchyard at the waterside
by Antoni Waterloo
This drawing is the perfect example of cross hatching. If you look at the dark side of the church you will notice the layers that create a mesh like pattern. This method is used best to describe light, shadow and depth. If you look at the water the absence of the "cross" in the hatching resembles a shining that is presumed a reflection and mirror like reflection of the water.
ANALOGOUS COLOR SCHEME
Arums
by Mabel A. Royds
Analogous color scheme is a method of color use in art where the artist chooses colors that are adjacent on the color wheel using the theory that the colors harmonize each other. The dominant color in this particular painting is orange which is carefully balanced. It almost creates a calming and warm feeling.
CHIAROSCURO
Diogenes
by Parmigianino
This is an example of chiaroscuro which is a Italian term that means 'light-dark'. This painting holds a clear tonal contrast that is collaborated throughout the image with a perfect flowing arrangement. The darker flows of the image is veiled or shadowed, the lighter portions of the image is inter-played throughout.
FROTTAGE
When
by Michael Snow
This drawing is an example of frottage. Frottage is a technique in art that the artist, in this case, uses a pencil and uses a rubbing over a textured surface. Michael Snow chose a newspaper to create his effect creating an impression.This image is almost a collage with the headlines and adds in the background. A very interesting canvas.
Mavignier, Bilder + Serigraphien
by Almir Mavignier
Op
Art is the visual art that has an optical illusion property as if the
picture is moving. This picture is an example of Op Art because of the
artists precise use of pattern. The absence of color also adds to the
painting almost causing a conflict. The viewer can almost imagine or see
hidden images almost warped like.
ARBITRARY COLOR
The Houses of Parliament from
Westminster Bridge
by Andre Derain
This painting demonstrates arbitrary color exactly. Arbitrary color is a color scheme artists use that has no realistic relation to the object. Knowing that parliament is not painted red and yellow it its true form is the perfect example of this term. The artists chooses this scheme for a more expressive approach.
