Similarity-5:


Depth-4:

The artists who use the sidewalk rather than a canvas create illusions using depth. The picture below is of a drawing of a dungeon that appears to be three-dimensional. The artist utilized a few pictorial cues in order to make and illusion of a three-dimensional dungeon on a two-dimensional surface, the sidewalk. The artist used light and shadow as well as linear perspective, even though there is no vanishing point for the lines. The lines at the bottom of the dungeon are shorter than those that are supposed to be the top. Even though they are all on the same surface, this makes the lines that appear to be at the floor of the dungeon appear farther away than the lines that bring the dungeon to the surface. Light and shadow are also very important monocular cues that lead to this illusion. The artist used shadows and lighting to create much of the depth we see even though there is no depth to the sidewalk. The pictorial cues in this work of art are what create an illusion in our minds. Because we see depth, our brains are tricked into thinking that this is image three-dimensional rather than a two-dimensional drawing.

Line-3:

I think the picture speaks for itself, the railroad line here leads your eye into the picture and take it right to the Main Subject or Center of Interest.

Color-2:

The triadic color scheme:













The triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. This scheme is popular among artists because it offers strong visual  contrast while retaining balance, and color richness. The triadic scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it looks more balanced and harmonious. 



Instead of finding or creating an image i found a website with a color wheel and you can customize and see the difference of shades and schemes. You can also see how color blind people perceive colors simply by clicking on "color blind". You can also play with the hue and saturation. its an interesting website so Here is the link:       http://colorschemedesigner.com/

Lighting-1:

The sidelight of an early morning  sun (I guess) allows  to bring out the color and texture of these reeds, while putting the background into shadow. This simplifies the image, removing all distractions and clutter from the scene. The stage is left to the reeds alone, glowing in a deeply shadowed world. The role of the light is clearly significant and serves its purpose which is the reeds being the focal point.
