COLOUR
Colour always has three characteristics, hue, value and intensity. Hue meaning shades, value meaning the lightness or the darkness and intensity meaning brightness or dullness of the work of art.
The colours that are used in this piece are quite vibrant and bold. This compliments the work of Dali as he was known for his unique and weird ideas. There is a good contrast of colour between the black of his hair and the blue of the sky and I think that putting these two colours together works well. The colours that are used are all very realistic as well, and are all very tonal and flesh like therefore giving more realistic qualities to the piece, the face especially. The hues in this piece are very clear especially on the face. This also helps when looking at how realistic the piece is.
I think that this piece loosely relates to my work because of the colour that are used and I am also trying to create different hues in my painting as well by building up layers.
