Rummaging through my bookmarks earlier I rediscovered the deviantart page of Cyril Rolando, known as `AquaSixio (links to his deviant art and his website). His use of colour is absolutely beautiful. The two images in this post are good examples of the effect of colour proportion on atmosphere. The first image, Les promesses d'une romance, is dominated bywarm orangey hues and radiates warmth, while the second, Coeurs fondants, feels icy and isolated. The oranges in the first piece are of an intense hue but because the small amount of blue is enhanced by the surrounding colours the two hues battle for attention. In the second piece the ratio of orange to blue is almost flipped, however the orange, being a warm colour, is brought forward though diminished slightly by the swathes of blue.
