Chromatic Harmony

Chromatic Harmony:
The use of chords of different but harmonious composition. Bach used it in his composition and it was very effective. 

In this painting I have used colors in the same family but different hues and values. Almost an abstract splash around the bird.  Roosters are fun to add this color harmony to because you can accent certain values.By using and highlighting the teal, oranges, and reds,the Browns look deeper. The Yellow sharper.

Glazing or light washes of color also add depth. This gives the rooster an added depth and more than an arts and craft look.

Make it fun and sometimes it just happens. I sometimes feel like just adding color so I do!

 Like I always say keep your brushes wet!
