Fauvism: Working with Colors and Color Schemes
Fauvism
Working with Color
Fauvists used
ARBITRARY
colors in their
paintings (colors not related to nature).
However, this did not mean that they just
painted things any colors that they wanted.
The color selection was still thoughtful,
purposeful, and projected the mood of the
location. Your painting will do the same thing.
Possible Color Schemes
Complementary color palette
Colors are located across from each other on the
color wheel
When placed next to each other, they make
each other appear brighter
Red
-
Green
Blue
-
Orange
Purple
-
Yellow
Black -
White
Possible Color Scheme
Warm
or
Cool
colors
Warm colors are-
Red
,
yellow
, and
orange
They are vivid, energetic, and seem to
advance in space
Cool colors are -
Blue
,
green
, and
purple
They have a calming effect and seem to
recede in space
Possible Color Scheme
Monochromatic
Tints and shades of one color
In your painting, colors will be arbitrary but
you will also have to chose a color scheme and
explain why you chose it and how you used it.
What color schemes are good for what types
of moods? What type of mood are you trying
to create in your painting?
