How to Fight in a Painting

Colors fight for dominance in there white canvas world. However the color war isn't all as it seems. From the chaos of war sprouts new beings of light. New meanings are born along with new colors. The only colors that fight in this never ending war are reds, blues, and yellows. Black and white stay out of the battlefield and do their best to influence the actions of the other warriors. As colors fight new colors are born from the blood shed. When red, filled with passion, fights the logical blue, purple, the wisest of all colors, is created. When shining hope filled yellow, fights with blue, stubborn green is grown. Finally when red fights yellow, orange rains justice into the world. As the colors fight, which ever color has the upper hand grows more prominent in the new colors form. So, as it is seen, color don't fight just for having their morals heard ,but so they may grow in size and power. As spawns of light, these beings live to grow and give the world meaning. They live and die to define the world around us. Never forget their importance, as well as their sacrifice.

The War Within a Rainbow

In art,there is beauty. As vibrant images are lifted from the depths of the canvas and shown to the world, they bring forth emotions that live in the depths of our souls. Colors shine, dim, brighten, darken, show, and hide in the canvas as living beings. They live in that world and speak to us from it's hidden depths. Their tones, though graceful and elegant, are strong and serious. For in that white world, colors fight for supremacy. It is not just the image that attracts the creatures, it is the meaning behind them. As each color fights for supremacy, a meaning is created that makes the painting unique. Artist try to find the right amount of reds, blues, and yellows to begin combat for dominance and create a great story within the canvas. Passionate red is pit against calm blues as yellow watches and eggs them on. The canvas, at first white with new beginnings  is blackened with the stains of color war. Let them stimulate the mind as they are seen on the white canvas.

Just Nothing

Nothing is not an object that symbolizes bad, nor does it bring peace to other lives. It is a being that is just there existing and watching without a care. It is the one being that no creature can imagine no matter what they have experienced. No man, woman, or child an see nothing. Nothing is represented by the color gray and no one has ever seen the true shade of gray. Artists have tried, but they either paint it to show depression or to show a little light in the darkness. It is a color with no opinion or strong view of the world. It does not have a side in any argument nor does it have feelings to give. Gray is just there. It is the fine line between light and darkness. It is the tent behind every color confrontation between light and dark. It is just gray.

Bright and Shining Creation

The almighty light serves to reveal truth and banish shadows. It shines with purpose ,like the sun that gives life to this world. It brings security in its warm and loving glow. Shadows hide from it for fear of being destoried. It is justice incarnated in a solid form, technically. Light is the color white. It is the canvas that painters create their works of art. White is the first color of the spectrum. When separated,it creates all colors. It holds the meaning of justice, creation, and good in the world. White holds the moral pricipals of this world, and keeps humanity from descending into chaos, the same chaos black wishes to create. White reveals all of the truths of this world that are hidden by darkness. That reason alone is why humanity trusts it more than black. It's the guard that will nevert rest and will create hope for all to have.

Fear the Unknown

Fear is king; king of the shadows and dark corners of the mind. It doesn't eat and it never sleeps; it only hunts and preys on weak souls. It knows every weakness and holds them above every head. No one ever notices it until it is too late. Our fathers and forefathers have been fighting this being only to weaken its hold on them. It is empty, it is unknown; IT IS DARKNESS!!! Darkness, shadows, and the night sky  are all painted black. Black has no simple meaning. It can mean evil, it can mean unknown, it can mean fear itself, yet it can mean nothing. It is one of the two basic colors that make up the world and shapes it. It takes all meaning from other colors and hides them from sight. Artists have portrayed black as death, destruction, and pure evil. Mostly, black is portrayed as the unknown. All beings have fear of the unknown, including people; it is natural for beings who live only with the known. Still, black will always be part of the world and its people; never think that when the sun is up the darkness is gone until night fall.

Shade Gives Meaning

Colors come in all spectrums. They bring forth knowledege seen and know only by sight. They are born by the fusion of reds, yellows, and blues. Just like the days on this world, they change from light to dark, or dark to light, as time progesses. This moon and sun are never seen together unless they are at war, but their power is equal and higher than that of red, blue, and yellow combined. Light is white, pure and clear, while dark is black, clouded and unknown. They create balance in the universe, and in colors. They define the motive of a being and show it to the world. With this yin and this yang, the world was created. Black and white are extremes on opposites sides of the balance, without one the other would go to chaos. Let their powers be know in due time.

Hope and fear

The sun shines brighter with every passing day. Each day filling all bodies full of life so that they may move on to the next task, or melt the mind and play tricks on the senses. It is a dazzling light that fills all with hope, but too much of it can be troublesome. The sun shines with the color yellow and will stay shining that way until all fades to black. Yellow is the spirit, just like red's the body and blue's the mind. It gives purpose behind every task a being completes. Though yellow is a hopeful color; it can also mean a terror no being can overcome so easily. In fact, all heroes must overcome this creature in order to truly be strong. Fear is that creature, and it holds tight to all spirits in order to wipe the yellow away. Humans have to be balanced having the color yellow, unlike with red and blue. Yellow is hope, too much of it and a person believes that they can do anything without consequences, too little and a person will fear the very shadow that follows them. It is the color that defines our very nature and will continue to do so. Whether the color may brighten over time, or shrink as it is mixed with black, this color will change as a person does. It is the task of the artist to use it correctly.

What falls from the Heavens

Rain falls on all mortal beings. It doses the fire within and causes a state of calm. To be thrown in this rain with no passion only leads to grief. Rain is a color true and pure, and can only be tainted with scars from a flame bright and strong. Blue is that color, and it holds qualities no mortal thinks of. It is the liquid that cleanses our bodies of all ill intent. Blue is the color that doses passion, in fact only the strongest of reds can survive in blues, it is the same for flowing blues. An artist can use blues to wipe away anger, but can in turn promote sadness. Blue is the color of logic. It brings knowledge to ones attention, and fears not what it brings. It is the color of patients for it can remain still as ice. It is a color as strong as red, yet they are as different as the sun and the moon. The water does not come across fire and not harm both sides. Blue is a force that is strong and calm. It the though behind each action. Over thinking this thought will cause great despair.

Life is a Shade of Red

Emotions of the strongest calibur have the strongest effect on others. They twist the thoughts and bring feelings of sympathy to readers who have caring mortalities, or brings forth a rage that has settled deep within them for years. War holds this color proudly,as does love but more caringly. The impact of this color is as strong as a raging fire in a dry forest. All powerful events, no matter the meaning or the name, are painted Red.
 Life flows through the body as a river of red, staining everything that it touches, and changing all it comes across. Like glue, red brings a strong bond between a character in a book and the reader, and it is not removed easily. When a writer writes of love he uses red roses, yet that rose could be stained with red rage.

 

What ever the case, red is seen in every book when the event is storng or moving. It gives details more depth and questions new answers. When readers see this color they know its meaning well. Red is one of the strongest colors in literature.

Image Of Colors

 Colors are everywhere from the viberant reds to the soul filled blues. They bring life to the world around us. Authors see this potential and write musing stories decorated with a tapestry of colors that fill the reader with dreams of grandeur. Each color brings forth an image no greater than the other,yet still very strong. Each color in a story has meaning behind it. Red can mean love and bring passion into a story, or it could mean rage and bring images of war to mind. Blue can mean saddness and make readers melancholy, or it could mean hope and drive the audience to read further. To the naked eye, colors are nothing more than background to an image, but the artist, which are readers and painters, they mean so much more. The story White Fang by Jack London paints an image in this way. It describes white snow as soul less and unknown, and red as experience, like the red hue of the shewolf. The images of this savage plain drew readers in from the start. Colors are just that powerful. The can make white snow evil, and black night protecting. No image is complete without a color.
