#TonalContrast

[alpopkov-blog]

Ok, so I got stuck in Hyvinkää under heavy snowfall when the train was late. Something in extreme weather always draws me. I instantly took out my camera and walked around the station.

Somehow, summer rarely inspires me - there is too much light, too many colors and details. Winter simplifies everything. Isolated colds and warms create tonal contrast and build quiet tension.

Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support. -Rumi #dunlaoghaire #dublin #dublinireland #ireland🍀 #ireland_insta #ireland #ireland🇮🇪 #wallpapers #desktopwallpaper #raw_ireland #pacificbeach #pacific #suryanaredla #photography #naturephotography #photographer #tonalcontrast # https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xM3IGCiNg/?igshid=1x9tcc1w3hj8c

Dude, waves are so fun to do! 😂 . OK, so I had this thought. Get ready 'cause its weird... - ly cool. What of mermaids or sirens were actually women thrown of boats by sailors and trapped forever in the sea. #writingprompts .

Adding impact: The power of contrast

Tonal contrast can often give more impact than bright colours. This is why black-and-white experts like Aubrey Beardsley never really needed to use colour.

The edge – the moment in a picture where a black area switches to white – is the pictorial equivalent of switching on a light in a dark room.

Though we love the subtlety and variety of mark in our pencil drawings, pencil is low on impact once you step back from it. Something extra has to be done to strengthen a pencil drawing for it to look strong in an exhibition.

By adding black areas, Jane has strengthened her picture of Bob Geldof (above) and Eve has given power to her drawing of Mike (below).
