Workshop 2- Monochromatic

 
The Quilter’s Studio Color Study Group                                                                    February 18, 2012
Monochromatic color scheme:
·         Derived from a single color extended by using its shades, tones and tints
·         Energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of color contrast.
      ·         Monochromatic colors offer very little contrast and may be considered boring unless there is
o    Variety of fabrics with texture and pattern
o    Good range of values
o    Good range of color scale/saturation (pure hue, tints, tones, shades)
o    Diversity within the design

 Examples of monochromatic works from famous artists
Gustav Klimt

Pablo Picasso
Mark Rothko
