Mood

Colors that are related may also be used to express a mood in your painting.  Here the intensity of the yellow is strong, suggesting sun and light.  The mood of these colors seems to be joyful and suggestive of spring.

The basic colors are blue, yellow and green.  Plus the white background creates a lot of contrast.  While the yellow probably covers less space than the darker blue-green, the intensity of the yellow makes it the more dominant color.

This pastel uses much the same combination but the intensity is lowered, suggesting a more somber mood. 

Here the colors are also blue, yellow and green.  But the dominance is heavily toward the blue spectrum.

The blues and blue violets here suggest water vapor and the ocean spray on a cool day.  The scene isn't particularly gloomy or menacing but rather calm.

In this watercolor, the blues and violets contrast with sharper reds creating the effect of a storm approaching.  There are areas of sunlight playing against areas of darker clouds that create a tension in the painting.

In this painting the colors are stretched to include some that are outside the close relationship of blue-violet - enhancing the effect of disharmony.
