Principles and Elements of Design

                                                 






Elements
  • Texture; using wax and oil paint, attempts to emulate the painting style of an amateur. It's soft hard glossy. 
  • Color; mostly used the gradation and mixtures of dark to light. The lips and noses recede, the shadows and highlights float above the surfaces, the flesh tones are smeared on to faces.
  • Size; using the simple relationship between area and the object.  In this painting, Julian showed a good arrangement of a human portrait.
  • Value; Tonal contrast, which simply the difference between the light and dark areas in a painting. Having less tonal contrast in the foreground allows the large girl to dominate and so not confuse the viewer.

Principles
  • Dominance; Schnabel left the eyes out of these giant paintings of faces as a means to force the viewer to look at the paintings and not the eyes.
  • Balance ; the negative spaces between left and right are balance
  • Contrast; He put the major contrast at the center of the interest and using vertical direction.
