Project 3 involved lots of trial and error, resulting in my growth surrounding color and color theory. My project began with a photograph of a still life. This showed me how much difference good lighting can affect the color of an object. After color correcting, I realized how many shades, colors, hues, and saturations can be in just one object. The blue claw clip was the most diverse in mine and gave me the most trouble. Although it appeared as a simple blue clip, closer inspection revealed that the colors around it were reflecting off of it and there were many depths to the blue. In addition, I learned that it was easier to match the colors when I used a watercolor style instead of a thick gauche. The watercolor allowed me to build multiple layers to help achieve the perfect match. This allowed me to create dimensional space in my background, having the foreground and background a lighter wash, while the middle ground was a darker wash. This allowed the objects to settle and give them depth. Another way I created dimensional space was by making the objects in the back a lighter saturation, while the objects up front had a deeper, brighter saturation. Overall, this process allowed me to practice my skills with color theory and taught me a lot about the saturation of objects. The constant trial and error built up my talent regarding color theory.
