MONOCHROME PAINTINGS

Image result for monochrome painting


 Monochrome paintings is a paintings whose colour schemes used only one hue and its tints shades for a unifying effect. Basically this means working with one pigment only. Think of a black and white photograph where the only colour used in varying tone and you will get a clearer picture of what one means by a monochrome painting. Expert that in a monochrome one need not limit oneself to just tonal variations of the black, any one colour -blue,green,red,purple--

The paint has to be mixed and applied in varying degrees of strenghts to create the different tones in such a painting. The term generally used is weak and strong colour. A weak colour is one where so much of water has been introduction to the pigment and colour created is deeper and brighter. 

 Start a monochrome paintings by choosing the subject and the one colour you wish to render it in. for example, let us imagine that the subject for the paintings is he scenery of a village. now such a subject would comprise of obvious element such as he sky,mountains,river,huts etc .First draw simplified outlines of the various elements of the scene in light pencil . No detailing is required intially as this would be done later when adding colour. Now get the colour ready on your palette. in case it is not ready-made pigment, insure that you mix enough colour to finish your whole painting. It is near impossible to mix the same colour again. And slight different in hue could spoil the whole effect...
