Colour booklet

colourIn the landscape on the left our attention is drawn by the warm-coloured mountains in the foreground.From there our eye is led into the space. In the right-hand illustration our attention is immediately drawnby the warm-coloured mountains in the background. If we then look downwards the blue mountains inthe foreground seem to be trying to hide under the warm colours. They do not stand out.Brightness and suggesting spaceObjects which are contrasted with a lighter background stand out (ill. 37). In the first example we have nodifficulty in imagining a spatial mountain landscape. In the second example this is much more difficult.The world seems to be standing on its head. Objects which have great contrasts in brightness stand outcompared to objects with small contrasts in brightness (ill. 38).[ 37]In the first illustration space is suggested by the marked form perspective of the posts (ill. 38).This space is emphasized in the second example by increasing the contrast between light and dark inthe foreground and decreasing it in the background.[ 38]pagen 26
