#5 Hand Tint Using Color & Emphasis

• A splash of color!

Artistic Choice

• As the artist, you get to decide what you want your viewers to see.

• For this project, you will use the principle of emphasis through the element of color.

• The color will draw the viewer's eye through hand tinting.

• Artists use to actually use oils and paint on top of photographs. We will be doing the digitally of course though.

Color Choice

• Remember our color wheel? – Primary Colors

• Red, Yellow, & Blue

– Secondary Colors • Orange, Green, & Purple

– Complementary Colors • Colors that are across from each other on the color wheel • Red & Green • Orange & Blue • Yellow & Purple

• Think about pastels & bright colors
