DTC-355 The Element of Color

Color has a very important role in a art piece. Its really interesting to read the meanings behind a color choice or placement of the color within the painting. Having a basic knowledge of color theory can really help interpret what the painting is trying to convey.

Here is a painting that Jay Alders created called, "Burning Inspiration". This paintings color palette is mainly blue and yellow. Its a great example of complimentary colors. It has a warm and cool feel to it. The placement of the two figures have a nice balance. It clearly tells us that these two guys are probably buddies hanging out around a fire at the beach jamming out with their instruments among the beautiful moon light. Its a great painting.
