Abstract

The use of color is a crucial element in painting, since any particular color would be affected by its surrounding colors in order to produce a different visual hue. This study focused on the study of landscape paintings and color, based on the study of art history, and investigates approaches via analysis of colors adopted by impressionist painters in western paintings. This study explores the elements of hues, brightness, saturation, complementary colors, and cold/warm tones in contrasting colors, as well as corroborating these elements in actual artwork. Landscape paintings primarily depicts local geographical and cultural features, while colors convey emotions and feelings. A work of depth exhibits a strong sense of emotions, integrates scenery and features to produce a theme with space for imagination and innovation.
