IMAGE ESSAY #12

This work is done by Viky Brago-Mitchell. In this print, she uses primary colors to make the artwork visually appealing.

Primary colors are unique because they cannot be separated into another color. For this reason, I think it is interesting to work with them. By adding black into the primary color scheme, the primary colors seem to be in the foreground and popping out at you.


I enjoy how Brago-Mitchell warped the color images in the way that she did. It really gives the viewer a sense of movement in this piece. By using different shades of colors, such as blue...you get a rippling effect in the overall piece. It is interesting how the colors pop out when they are next to one another.


I wanted to show this work of art, as well. It is a painting done by Nadine Rippelmeyer. She used primary colors in this work, but in a different form. She used the blue and yellow to make the green ground, which is something the other painting did not necessarily do. By mixing the two primary colors and setting that as a base to the other primary colors, it really sets off the forest floor in this work.

This is an example of two ways you can use primary colors to make this technique stand out.
