Color Theory in Mosaic by WOWMOSAIC. "Rules of Color Construction in Mosaic" by Adelaide Roche.
This is the second video in a new online lecture series from the "Garden of Garnet" Mosaic School, dedicated to color theory.
This time, Adelaide Roche will discuss the rules of color construction in mosaics!
And again—simple explanations of the complex:
It turns out that pure black doesn't exist in smalt—so what should we do?
Why does a mosaic look different up close and from afar?
What's the correct way to look at a "pixelated" mosaic?
How does the distance between tesserae ("fugue") affect the color of a mosaic?
How can you make a smalt hue appear much more saturated than it actually is? By outsmarting all the manufacturers ;)
Lightness, saturation, and tonality—what are they and how do they work?
Any questions left? Ask them in the comments. And ring the bell so you don't miss the next lecture on the different types of contrasts and how they affect the perception of mosaics.
