Composition: A consideration of color
While finishing the 6X6″ spring piece, I wandered to my greens. Sometimes green just doesn’t deliver–so I ended up eyeing the gray. I know, I know–crazy talk, but hear me out. Sometimes the greens aren’t dark enough–shadowy enough. that’s what the grays step in for. Witness:
This green is slightly off gray — and would be greatly enhanced by a dark gray for shadow.
The greens here coordinate nicely, but the shadows around the purple and red flowers, and along the horizon tree line aren’t pronounced and have little depth. That’s where the greys are needed. Stay tuned!
