CMYK-1Final Paper The artwork I chose is called â€Å"CMYK† by Skurktur. The colors in this work are black, dark pink, dark purple, orange and sky blue. This painting depicts a man holding an umbrella; in colored rain not far ahead of him, a young boy without an umbrella allows the rain to wash over them. The man is painted in an all-black suit with a deep scowl on his face clutching the umbrella close to him. The umbrella is a physical object that protrudes from the wall. The multi-colored rain splatters on the umbrella leaving streaks of rain running down the sides and mixing together to create a spider-web effect. The boy Is painted in orange and dark blue, wearing a rain coat, with his arms spread wide, looking up at the sky with his tongue sticking out. The rain is colored with reds, blues, and yellows they mix together to make purples, greens, and oranges that run down the wall. One major element in this painting is color. Color can be bright dull, bright, dark, or light. The colors are in the rain, on the child as well as the man. The colors mix in the rain, run down the wall and onto the umbrella. The dark dull colors on the man are used to create the man, it also uses the contrast of white on the wall to create his facial features. The boy is painted orange and dark blue, the dark blue is used for shading and like the man the white of the wall is used to create the facial features. Another major element in the work is value. Value is the light or darkness of a color.
