This week, I decided to paint a group of elephants. I found this particularly interesting, as they have been represented in art since prehistoric times. Back then, elephants were commonly difficult to portray by those who did not have much experience with them. Because I had the opportunity, I decided to experiment with these elephants through a color study.

For my color study, I used a green hue. My goal was to select one hue from the color spectrum, and create a contrast (in this case I choose green). In my painting, I  displayed a range of tone as it is very important,( this refers to how dark and light a color is). To create a darker shade of green, I added more blue. For the deepest shadows, I added shade, using black. To brighten the green, I added yellow, and to lighten the green I added a tint(white), displaying a range of greens.

Overall, this experience was well enlightening!
