12. Q: What does colour do in artwork?

14. Blue is traditionally used as a background colour. Cool colours receed. Warm colours come forward and are traditionally used in the foreground of a painting. Red, orange, yellow, brown. Thomas Gainsborough painted “Blue Boy” (1748-1750) to flip traditional uses of brown and blue.

15. The five major composing roles of color are as follows: 1.To harmonize (or the opposite, to contrast)harmonize 2.To unify a sceneunify 3.To set forth a visual pathvisual path 4.To produce rhythmrhythm 5.To create emphasisemphasis

16. The overall bluish tone unifies, while purplish-red accents bring harmony throughout. Repeating greens set the visual path and give rise to rhythm. Emphasis results from the highlights in the water contrasting with the surrounding blue and dark gray rocks.

17. Repeated golds and warm browns harmonize the piece. That warmth receives emphasis from the contrasting cooler blues in the sky. A dominance of warms unify as the viewer’s eye is led throughout the painting with the repetition of orange-yellows.
