Innovative Colors
• Utilize artists as master teachers.
• Use color schemes that express mood or tone.
• Do not limit yourself to similar imagery.
– Example: Use the colors of a landscape for a portrait.
• Use appropriate color schemes for the style in which you are working.
– Example: It is difficult to use a triad color scheme on a work that requires
blending and value.
• When working from life consider colored light.
• Print original self directed photos in black and white to avoid predicable
colors.
• Experiment with colors on a test page first.
• Blend your own colors. Never work directly from a tube.
• Ask yourself what colors would create the color you seek. Example: It is
bluish, greenish, brownish.

COMPOSTION
![Page 21: “The 4 C’s” Strategies to Improve a Portfolio...Inspired by Malcolm Liepke, “In Her Arms” Student Work Inspired by David Cobley, “At The Easel I” Student Work Inspired](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071111/5fe7550b023d0800394817b6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Inviting the Viewer in Through Composition
• Composition can make a good drawing bad and a great drawing amazing.
• Always consider visual movement in a work of art.
• Thumbnails are essential. The more thumbnails you have the more options
you have for success. Typically the first idea is the least interesting.
• Consider the interior composition, the edges, and depth within the space.
• NO MOP (Middle of Space) unless it is clear and intentional.
• If you are struggling use a digital camera. It allows you to easily zoom in
and out and move around to create a full composition.
• Combine thumbnails if they are too boring.
• Edit. Edit. Edit. Consider cropping part of your image off to eliminate
space.
• Take a picture of your work and print it out. Work on top of this piece and
experiment with what you can do to make it better. Sometimes it is difficult
to risk take on your actual piece.

A Point of Departure
• Begin with an interesting concept.
• Search for ideas using other artists, definitions, word mapping (www.visualthesaurus.com) , books, or poems.
• Combine ideas to make more complex ideas.
• Consider visually abstract imagery. Example feelings, moods, time. Ideas that you must illustrate conceptually.
• Consider concrete imagery. Example houses, figures, objects. Ideas that can be easily represented.
• Thumbnail through multiple personalities.
• Respond to your world. Don’t just represent it.

High Lights and Low Lights
• Always consider the work in person and through the lens of a camera.
• Look at your work with a blurry eye. Can you see the images easily when you do this?
• Work with light. You can always tone it down but it is hard to amp it up without understanding it.
• Consider light in a variety of ways: Colored Light, Unusual Light Sources, Multiple Light Sources, Natural Light, Light Patterns, and Shadows.
• If you are having a difficult time seeing that your work appears muddy take a picture of it and adjust the lighting. Did it make a difference? If so revisit your work and push the highlights and low lights.
• Consider using color in your shadows and not black.
