Warm and cold layers sample
This image is the result of a very intensive second day at the CTDG Summer School at Christleton with tutor Sarah Brownie.
On the first day we looked at the difference between the artist terms of primary colours, hue, contrast and saturation and the same terms as applied to digital colours.
At the start of the second session we undertook a short but intensive photography lesson using the white balance setting on the camera in an unusual way. Briefly we photographed a primary colour( digital- RGB) and then set this as our white balance. When we photographed our chosen triangular image ( mine was torn white paper with a black drawing on it) we achieved some amazing colourful images.
These were then transferred to the computer where we tried to achieve warm and cold layers using digital manipulation. To do this I added a layer image taken from a watercolour painting I did in the morning session on the first day. This involved fine tuning the image using some of the knowledge gained from my look at digital hues and saturation.
Sarah asked me to focus on how my image contrasted with the layers below and above and to show how a colour which sits on top of other colours can change from warm to cold. By this time I needed to sit in a dark room for a while to gather my thoughts!
A challenging and thought provoking two days which has given me the skills to take forward into my next piece of art work.
