Imagine placement of color to create effects you see
Placement of color
Pattern and shapes used
208
Solid form
Deeper tones at perimeter enhance the form line and add visual weight
Highlights around face create focal point
Highlights throughout create the illusion of surface activation and more movement
209
Graduated form
Darker tones in exterior enhance the tapered effect and angular shape of nape
Interior highlights create more activated appearance to balance sculpted activated texture in exterior
Repetition diminishes contrast of sculpted textures and draws attention to shape and form
210
Increase layers
Lighter ends show activated texture and elongation of form
Lighter tones in interior create illusion of more volume
All over highlights increase illusion of texture activation particularly on the long interior layers
211
Uniformly layered
Repetition enhances shape form
Highlights near face create focal point
Alternation adds appearance of texture activation p
