Picasso used a relatively monochromatic color palette, including shades of tan, dull green, light brown, and yellow. These colors appear to be near each other in shading, and they are muted or dull, there isn't a solitary bright color that stands out. Every one of these factors combines to make the entire painting's surface to appear to be unified.

In 1910 Picasso spent his summer holiday with Fernande Olivier in Cadaques. This is the place where he painted Woman with Mandolin after coming out from an Early Cubist stage towards Analytical Cubism. However, in this artwork, the mandolin can be easily distinguished in the lower area of the composition as it is rounder, darker, visibly harsh against the woman's body. The outlines of both the lady

When I analyze this painting, my eyes are drawn to the building in the bottom left which seems to resemble a church. It has a white steeple and roof line along with light red brick for the walls. The color, style, size, and position of this particular building sets it apart from the rest of the buildings which all seem to blend together along the composition. The building’s edge meets right with the fence line along the field in the bottom left corner of the piece. It prompts viewers to begin their focus on the left of the painting instead of drawing our eyes directly to the center.

2), it has been created with the same materials as the previous work of art in which I discussed however it measures 244 x 244 cm. In this work of art, we are able to see two females standing still and facing towards the sunset as two older men are on opposite sides of them facing towards us. It seems as though this image depicts individuals who have just finished their workday based on the way in which they are dressed. It is evident that he puts forth some of the same techniques used in Iceberg Blues (Fig. 1) such as the images containing city people and the sunset landscape. Also, the individuals in this painting are not communicating with each other or making any eye contact perhaps because they also have different beliefs and cannot relate to one another.

Over in the middle of the painting, there is a more pronounced aperture looking over a waterway and rocks. The outline of the aperture makes up the shape of the face, the woman sitting down looking over the other way forms the mouth and nose of the face and the rocks at the distance form the eyes. All these objects clearly form the face of adolescence. Over on the right side there is a smaller aperture looking over the shore and what seems to be a woman on her knees. The figure of

His colors are comprised of lead white and mixed it with small number of different pigments. Sometimes the pigments come out coarsely ground, or finely ground, but with his technique he applies the pigments with superimposed strokes, which gives a texture to the surface of the painting. From looking at Las Meninas, Velazquez’s ranges of colors are quite limited. He basically used the same half deposit of pigments on the palette he is holding in the painting, except for blue or any shades that has anything to do with painting. Velazquez made certain blurriness in the face and hands of the subjects painted in the canvas, which is done with a brush filled with a liquid

The flirtatious young maiden is leaning in for a kiss while simultaneously looking back towards the party to ensure no-one is looking. The maiden was painted with such fashion and detail in her outfit. The main focus of the painting is the women and her facial expressions discerning the illicit action. Starting by glancing at the two lovers while they share a kiss, her beautiful dress catches the viewer’s eyes and wonder downward in a diagonal line.
