Color Studies
This color study I also made digially, although I didn’t make many alterations. Similar to my approach with the value studies I usually do, I made a master color study and continued to build it up until I found something that I liked. I wanted the silhouettes of the audience as well as the trees to be shadowed in a cool blue to give the look of a stage. This helped separate the super foreground and foreground elements from the mid ground to frame the dancer. I think the stark constrast of the figures being cool-toned in shadow really imitates the setup elements of stage design. I think it gives the impression of the theater and props that really complete the experience of watching a performance.
