Vocabulary

Accent color - a touch of a contrasting color (or complement) used against another

Color.

Background - the area around and behind the main subject in a painting. In a landscape painting, it is the area farthest away.

Backlight - light coming from behind the subject.

Balance - a design principle that refers visually to the equalization of the elements in a painting. The three types are: symmetrical (formal), asymmetrical
(informal), or radial (circular, radiating for a central point).

Bead - a tiny pool of color formed by gravity at the bottom of a wet wash when applied to tilted or slanted watercolor paper.

Blending - creating a smooth gradual transition between colors by using a soft brush. It can also mean mixing two or more colors on your paper
where the original colors remain and the combination of the blended colors is also visible.

Color Temperature - is simply the relative warmth or coolness of a color. Learn more see warm colors and/or cool colors

Complementary Colors - are those colors directly opposite or across from each other on the color wheel, such as red and green or yellow and violet or blue and orange. Mixing complements will neutralize, darken, or create a wide range of greys based on how much of each color you add.

Contrast - a design principle that uses opposites beside one another to create interest and visual impact. Examples: rough/smooth, light/dark, warm/cool
or the use of color complements.

Cool colors - are predominantly hues that contain blue, including greens and violets. The coolest color on the 12 point color wheel is blue-green.

Cropping - cutting a painting down, trimming it to a smaller size thus eliminating unnecessary portions of a picture to create a more pleasing end result. To help determine the best composition before cropping try using a viewfinder.
