Color Study Value and Space


Color Study Value and Space Artist James McNeill Whistler

This painting fully illustrates the function of color value in creating illusion of space. The dark color makes the mother appearing closer to the viewer and the light wall pushes the background further back while the median value  generated another layer of space between the woman and the wall . This simple use of range of color values created a clean yet dramatic image.
