Tone And Colour Values: Sky Impressionism
The following piece was produced on grey A3 paper with acrylic paints in 1 hour 15 minutes.
First off we are able to see a great amount of contrast, as the weather is slowly becoming darker from the bottom of the page we can see it gradients up to the top of the page in which is brighter and perspective is also considered with the larger clouds at the top of the page.
The lighting appears direct and due to the fact it's strong we're able to see the form in the clouds, specifically the opaqueness around the edges of the clouds which show signs of movement in the piece as the clouds deform.
The colours used in the piece are very cold, little balance is shown between warm and cold colours and the colours used like purple and pink are very saturated however they do manage to highlight the brighter parts of the clouds.
Constructively there isn't much harmony in the piece, it all feels unbalanced and the colours don't mix correctly, shadows have been considered with the purples but this doesn't blend well with the whites of the clouds.
The darker colours at the bottom of the page also don't blend in well with the brightness of the clouds, perhaps if it the blue background was more saturated at the bottom of the page it would work better.
Reference like a building or town would've been a good way of showing scale in the piece, even if it's not that large in the composition.
