1. #5 Hand Tint
Using Color & Emphasis
• A splash of color!
2. Artistic Choice
• As the artist, you get to decide what you want
your viewers to see.
• For this project, you will use the principle of
emphasis through the element of color.
• The color will draw the viewer's eye through
hand tinting.
• Artists use to actually use oils and paint on top
of photographs. We will be doing the digitally
of course though.
3. Color Choice
• Remember our color wheel?
– Primary Colors
• Red, Yellow, & Blue
– Secondary Colors
