For my monochromatic painting, I used tints and shades of red. I struggled a bit trying to make the colors distinct from one another, but i feel that I was eventuall able to successfully convey shadows and highlights with the use of only red. Once the shades became darker with more black, it was slightly challenging to retain the integrity of the red color without making it too black. However, the red tints with white created a variety of different qualities that all looked very different. I used a smooth painting style to create clean lines and solid colors.
For my analogous painting, I used the colors green, yellow green, and green blue. I struggled trying to make the piece look not monochromatic, because yellow green resembles a bright green and blue green resembles a dark green. I think that adding white to these colors made them slightly less pure green, however, I think that the overall piece resembles a green monochromatic painting. I used a less clean, more free form style that involved dabbing the paintbrush up and down on the paper when painting this one. I am pleased with the overall result, but I wish that I had been able to create more distinct colors that did not all look like tints and shades of green.
