Why do artists use colour?

Answer 1

Artists use color for many reasons:

• to express emotion
• to add realism to a piece of art
• to contrast different objects or areas in a piece of art
• to help certain parts of a piece of art stand out, and seem bolder
• to convey the beauty of an object/scene (because of/by using color)
• for other reasons that may apply...

Answer 2

Some artists, like Van Gough, use color to express emotion in their work.

Other artists use color to add realism to their work.

Painters use color in their work by picking up the brush, putting it in some water, dipping it in paint, and then by using strokes on the paper to apply that color.

Pastel artists pick up a pastel stick of the desired hue (color) and apply it to their work manually (using their hands).
