Value

The richness of colour is known as value. Colours that have been lightened
with white are called tints, colours that have been darkened with black
are called shades.

Space

The area between the foreground, background and the subject of a
composition is called space. Space are used to create dimension, depth
and perspective. Space is of two types:
i. Positive space: The area covered by shape or the main subject.
ii. Negative space: The area around the main subject matter.

Texture

Identity of a surface is known as its texture. Texture pertains to the
physical feel of an artwork lines, shading and colour play an important
role to create textures. A texture can be felt and categorised by a simple
touch. Some textures that we observe in our daily lives are denim (jeans),
wood, road, sand, floor, cloth, paper etc.

Monochromatic colour scheme
Monochromatic colour scheme comes into effect when we paint an artwork using a
single colour with different shades and intensity. The artwork have been created here
in single colour with different shades and tints.
Artwork using shades of black are called grayscale or black and white.

Warm and Cool colours

Warm colours: Red, orange and yellow are are warm in nature (not in temperature).
Warm colours are the colours of Fire and Sun. Concentrating on warm colours for a
longer period is uncomfortable as they are not eye soothing.

Cool colours: Shades of green and blue are categorised under cool colours. They do
not pinch our eyes and it is very easy to concentrate on them for a long time. They are
the colours of nature and provide a cooling effect to our mind.
