Painters Tip

Value- is the transition of color from light to dark or light tone to pure tone. In painting, it is captured by adding black (to capture the gradient of shadow), or white (to capture distance).


Hue- is the purity of tone. A color that is innately pure is more intense, or more saturated. A pure tone that has been introduced to different colors, will become de-saturated, less intense, and sometimes muddy. These become alternative hues to the same tone.


Color Temperature- Light, whether it's direct, reflected, or diffused, all has different color temperatures. These color characteristics are often referred to as being warm or cool. Color temperature can also be used to create depth in a painting. Warmer colors seem to advance to the viewer, while cooler colors recede.

I love your paintings, which is why I linked you to my blog. Thanks for the return link! I will look forward to visiting your studio when next I visit Gainesville. Perhaps we can go on a painting day together. I have lots of Florida photos from my last trip, but have only started one painting.
