Georgia O’Keeffe Georgia O’Keefe paints wispy curved shapes and her use of thin paint and clear colours evokes feelings of mystical silence. Her work is very different to certain aspects of Anna Keay’s work- abstract shapes based on line, colour, light and dark masses, repetition, and some symmetry. It is however smooth and soft like Renoir when he paints his people but hers is no way near as detailed. ‘Red Poppy’ Oil on canvas, 1927 This painting gives a profound impact, mainly because we never look at something so insignificant in such great detail, as it is a large and vivid, persimmon-red shape which shows an extreme close-up of a poppy. I think the original of this piece is supposed to be smaller, but the viewer still sees the flower in a huge perspective because the angle and position from which the painting was created makes the viewer feel like they are very close to the painting anyway.
Monet uses bright colors (even on shadows), soft contour lines and the painterly method to translate the soft and luminous effects of nature. Monet portrayed more light on the front ground (water) by depicting it with brighter colors. The middle ground is painted in greater detail while the background is painted in relatively less detail and is darker. The capture and placement of the light directs the viewer’s eye from the front to the back while delivering a sense of the motion of
She is seated only slightly off-center, but due to the high-key color of her dress and skin, is the dominant part of the painting. The dress that is draped over her entire body is pure white, a strong contrast to the majority of her surroundings, including Daphnis himself who is entirely much darker and more in the shadows than she. Beyond just the light and dark contrast, there are noticeable shapes in the painting that draw the eye to Chloe. The tree behind her is very dark, but in each corner of the painting the leaves part, allowing the blue sky behind to be seen. These areas are very small, but both of the breaks in the branches move inward at a diagonal, creating a triangle that points to the young couple, the young woman in particular.
If the painting were to be cut in half we would be able to see approximately the same amount of lilies on one side as well as the other. This would also be true for the young native girl, the way her feet are positioned and the extension of her arms allows to see how symmetrical the painting is. The painting also has many organic lines and shapes; the massive flowers have curved lines and are two-dimensional. On the other hand the stems of the lilies have vertical lines, the vertical lines make our eyes look up at the large lilies. On the other hand the scale and proportion of the lilies are not accurate to reality.
Colors are strongly separated and very limited in numbers: white, red, blue, black. There is a strong contrast of light and dark in the area of the skull that goes from the eyes to the mouth, but, once again, it is depicted with a strong separation of the different areas. The placement of red vertical bars on the side and the white-blues drapes on the back of the skull gives a sense of total abstraction and suspension of form and lines. In my opinion there are two different “souls” that coexist in this beautiful painting”: a call to mysticism and a strong nationalism tied into a painting that seems to suggest a strong connection between America and religion. The skull removed from its natural environment, placed in a suspended state in the
In addition he used the method flat wash which is using one solid color (yellow in this case) from top to bottom. To give the background the look it has the artist used different shades of green and brown, these colors helped in making the painting more realistic
I can also see the illusion of light on the water and the clouds. The way the painting is arranged you can still see light on the tops of the branches of the trees even through the dark cloud is above it. I think the color is important because the greens and the yellows brings a softness to it. The colors are used in contrast to each other so you see the dark clouds and the dark green of the forest and then you see the brightness of the sky with the yellow of the land it is a good contrast. Art Critique Paper 3 The texture of the painting is implied since it is a painting.

Make sure to apply a lot of mascara so that it looks very thick and black. Next off, apply a matching liner to the eyebrow to make the eyebrow sharp and more noticeable. Then add a blackish brown eye shadow near the liquid eyeliner line. After that below the brow, apply a shady gold beige eye shadow until it meets the blackish brown eye shadow. With a blending brush, blend the brown and the gold together so both colos do not have a line between them.
Psychological effect of colours is relatively well known, at least subconsciously. Red is considered energetic and attractive, while blue is calming. While colour is determined by the wavelength of the perceived light, our perceptions and responses to different colours depend on a host of variables like culture, individual experiences and memories. This implies that the reaction to colours is subjective. Red can be seen as energetic and friendly, or dangerous and violent.
