Tones are divided into warm tones and cold tones according to cold and warm: red, orange and yellow-warm tones, symbolizing the sun and flame. Green, blue and black-cool colors, symbolizing: forest, ocean and blue sky. Gray, purple and white-intermediate tones; The higher the brightness of cool tone, the warmer the overall feeling, and the higher the brightness of warm tone, the colder the overall feeling. Cold and warm colors are only relative. For example, in the red system, red and roses are together, red is warm, and roses are regarded as cool. For example, when roses and violets appear at the same time, roses are warm.
Tone refers to the overall tendency of colors in a painting, which is a great color effect. In nature, we often see such a phenomenon: objects of different colors are either shrouded in a golden sunshine or a pale blue moonlight, like veil mist; Or the charming gold in autumn.
Cover; Or unified in the silvery white world in winter. This color phenomenon is hue, which covers a certain color on objects with different colors, so that objects with different colors have the same color tendency.
The timbre changes are rich and varied. To sum up, the formation of tones is influenced by the following factors:
1: light source: if the same object is illuminated by warm light, the object will be unified into warm colors; If you shine with cold light, objects will be unified in cold color. When light has a certain color, the whole object is shrouded in this color. On the stage of drama, different colors of lights
The most obvious example of the influence on the tone of the stage is that light determines the tone.
2: Inherent color; The inherent color of an object also plays an important role in hue. It can also be said that the intrinsic color is the most basic factor to determine the color tone. For example, a mountain forest shows a bright green tone in spring; Autumn presents a charming golden tone, while winter presents a taupe tone with fallen leaves and withered vegetation. These colors
The change of hue mainly depends on the change of the inherent color of the object itself. When we say that a painting is green, blue, purple or yellow, we mean the inherent color of the objects that make up the painting. It is these main colors that determine the color of the picture.
3. High-key and low-key: mainly refers to the contrast between lightness and lightness of colors in tones. When designing the tone of a painting, the same green tone can be divided into high-key and low-key, and the same cold or warm tone can also be divided into high-key and low-key. High-profile paintings have high brightness of colors and high brightness between colors.
The contrast is weak (light and dark contrast is small), and the picture is characterized by lightness, elegance and liveliness. Low-key painting has the characteristics of strong color, rich color, low lightness, strong contrast between light and shade, deep, solid and changeable picture. The contrast between light color and dark color can produce rich tonal changes.
These factors directly affect the formation and change of color tone in painting. In the actual painting process, these factors often influence each other. We should learn to use our own characteristics and advantages to serve our painting. Light source, cold and warm, inherent color and contrast between light and shade are the central issues for us to learn and master color tones.
Tone is very important in a work. If there is no uniform tone in the work, it will be chaotic.
