PRIMARY COLORS Big Red by Daniel S. Jiménez is a perfect example of the primary color ( red, blue, and yellow) scheme being used in a piece of work. The most red is being used in the main focal point which is the apples, then in the middle ground in the curtains, and then lastly in the background curtains again. Yellow is being used in all the grounds, being in the curtains and basket, and blue is being used in the curtains, which drape from the background to the foreground.
This artist made sure that the primary color scheme is being used in all the grounds to create unity in the piece. It allows our eye to begin in the foreground and end in the background. This allows us to keep our eye on the piece rather than just glancing at it and moving on. This artist also uses really dark shades and high tints to create more visual interest. He uses a pure white highlight on the apples, and even some on the currents. He uses very dark shades for the shadows of the curtains and underneath the table to create a space of variety in the piece.
