Colors

The use of color can increase a composition's character, design, emphasis, balance, rhythm and space.  In this image we see the use of all the colors on the color wheel smudged across the page.  This image creates a great rhythmic flow, but there really is no emphasis in any particular place.  I wanted to use this image to show that colors can all be added to create a composition that flows, has balance and unity.  But there is no emphasis.  In fact it is a hard image to look at for a long period of time.  The mixers of colors create tertiary colors and keeps the image both cool in some spots but hot in others.  The magenta, yellow and blues are the main point of this image, but there still are some greens and yellows to balance the image.
