Color's Talk

How to obtain the desired color

A particular color is defined by three aspects that define it: tone/hue, saturation, and value.

Tone, is the quality of the color. It defines the color's position in the color wheel: green, blue, violet, yellow, and so on. Changing the tone or hue describes the direction in which the color goes in the wheel, making it bluer, redder, more orange...

Saturation, describes the intensity of the color. A saturated color does not have any presence whatsoever of either its complement or black. It is a pure color. on the other hand, when the chromatic intensity is reduced, we say that the resulting color is neutral. A neutral color is a passive color that has a grayer tone, which is created by mixing a color with its complement.

Value, defines the degree of luminosity. White is added to make a color lighter without changing its tone, and black, or its complement, to make it darker.

Complementary And Adjacent Colors

There are two types of relationships between colors in the color wheel: complementary and adjacent. Two colors are complementary when they are located opposite each other in the circle - green and red, blue and orange, yellow and violet. Adjacent colors are those found next to each other - red and orange, yellow and green, and so on. These two relationships are the foundation for mixing colors; that is, they tell us how to change the color hue, making it darker or grayer.

Home Gallery

Have you ever think about having your own gallery in your house?














You know, you can make this come true. All you have to do is simple, start now! In action!

I re-arranged my basement into gallery last winter. It was simply to complete this 3- steps:

1. Paint all the wall in white color (white is the best background to highlight your artwork).

2. Take an accurate measurement of each of your artwork that you want to present.

3. Mark on the wall as how high or the distance between the artworks you want it to be, and set up all hangers or nails on the wall.

Now you are free to decorate your gallery ^!^

P/S: Many thanks to the one I love who always support me and encourage me to reach my goal.

A Few Good Words

"When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merly think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives your own naive impression of the scene before you."

Claude Monet, as quoted by Lilla Cabot Perry, c. 1889

Workshop

This is where I study my sculpture class.

Oops..... the guy who was walking to the building? Certainly not me^^

This is a work shop. What am I doing here?
Well..... some welding, grinding, maybe sawing or torching.
You know, work like a technician.

Spring at MCC, Longview College

This picture was taken in the beginning of Spring time. Did you see the blossom trees?

I did't know the name of those trees, but I enjoyed this happy atmosphere by spending a moment sitting at the bench.

Ah~ What a wonderful world~
