You will see how an artist mixes colors and integrate the idea into your own art in this art appreciation lesson.
John Henry Twachtman, The White Bridge , c. 1900. Courtesy Dover Publications Inc.
In this painting, John Henry Twachtman used tertiary colors along with the secondary color, green. Can you find green, yellow-green, and blue-green in the grassy areas? We also see touches of colors that are not a part of the color wheel that we’ve become familiar with, such as light blue, deep brown, and white. These colors complete the painting by adding the lightest and darkest areas among the field of greens.
