What’s the deal with chroma anyways?
June 1st, 2008
Well the Lord just revealed to me something big that has been going wrong with my painting, I am not sure if any other artist have this problem to or if it’s just me. He revealed to me a “chroma problem” I was fussing with my last painting and adding more detail, and then taking some out and couldn’t get it where I wanted it. so I started flipping through one of my art books and it said that chroma is the intensity of color and the subject should have the most chroma and contrast, and likened using all high chroma colors with using all high musical notes when singing. So with this painting I dulled everything with light gray but the subject. Does the subject seem to pop out at you now?
