The waves with more emphasis of longer parallel lines close to the baseline seem larger and closer to the viewer. The same applies for the waves moving toward the horizon line at the end. With the use of overlapping and smaller parallel brush strokes, the waves seem further away from the viewer. The division between the top and the bottom of the painting indicates a horizon line. Moreover, different strokes of the brush create a sense of time and motion.

White and Greens in Blue painted by Mark Rothko is a very revolutionary painting. It is nonobjective and looks very different from the nonobjective paintings painted before it. Kandinsky’s First Abstract Watercolor is composed of random brushstrokes and lines. Mondrain’s Composition No.8, with Red, Blue, and Yellow, is organized by straight lines. However, White and Greens in Blue is a painting of large scale, displaying two huge green rectangles and one white rectangle on the blue background.
The brush work is very evident and hard (I could see the brush strokes on the canvas). There are different shades of colors blended together. The uses of Dark colors integrated with lighter colors is very present. For instance, the gentleman seated at the table with his hand pointed is much more darker in color specs than the gentleman seated to his left with much brighter, crisp colors. The definition of the bodily features is very relevant to the Baroque era.
Although the flowers are asymmetrical, the artist has tried to create an element of balance by placing them almost at the middle of the painting, and through the mixing of intense and dark colors. This makes the flowers to stand out clearly in the painting. The artist uses a variety of colors to make the painting beautiful and reduce a sense of monotony (Buster and Crawford 31). The viewer is looking at the flowers from a distance thus their medium size. This brings the effect of realism generated by the painting.
This distance depends on the angle of the incident light and the thickness of the film. White light is made up of different colors, corresponding to specific wavelengths. As the film thickness changes, the extra distance the ray must travel changes. Interference is constructive when the total extra distance matches a specific wavelength of light, and is destructive when it is half a wavelength. So if white light shines on a bubble, the film reflects light of a specific hue, and this hue changes with the film’s thickness.
The girl retracts her statement, and states, of course, the mountains do not really look like white elephants only "their skin through the trees” (Hemingway 98). At this point in the story it seems as if Jig is willing to do whatever it takes for his approval and affection. However, the man clearly has no interest in the baby declaring in reference to the procedure, "I don't want anyone else. And I know it's perfectly simple” (Hemingway 98). This represents the man’s lack of concern for Jig’s feelings.
Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes. A dark color is used on the eye to make them appear larger. Creating illusions is what eye shadow is all about. Every eye has a unique technique when applying eye shadow. There are big eyes, small eyes, wide eyes, deep-set eyes, etc.
In order to draw attention to Icarus, William states, "Unsignificantly/ off the coast /there was/ a splash quite unnoticed". Similarly, Auden states, describing the way "everything turns away quite leisurely from the disaster". They both point to the fact that in the painting Icarus is drowning and people don't care to help or even look. These people practice ignorance, confirming the common saying that "ignorance is bliss". This does not necessarily mean that the bystanders are better off not being bothered, but that they don’t even seem to be bothered at all by a man drowning.
The castle also gives off a dull vibe because of the fact that it is barely described and even when it is, the adjectives used don’t really seem exciting or pleasing. In the second part of the poem, we see the Lady inside the tower which seems to be just as dull and empty as the rest of the castle, the only things inside being a mirror, chair, desk and Lady of Shalott’s tapestry. She is weaving ‘by day and night, a magic web of colours gay’. It talks about how she spends her time weaving what she sees in the mirror. However, we also get an insight of what the Lady of Shalott is like and her feelings.
