Contrast is everywhere.

No artwork or design can work without some type of contrast, in it. Which makes contrast one of the most important factors when it comes to painting a picture, making a website, creating posters, movie scenes, sketches or literally any other type of visual.

Whether it’s contrast of color, size, shape, subject or something else. In any good artwork or design there needs to be an interesting difference between visual elements, or ideally a good combination of different contrasts.

Contrast is the technique of using opposing elements next to each other in order to create tension, tell a story, add meaning or in general: create more visual interest.

There are 10 main ways in which you can do this, and in this course I want to teach you what they are, how they work and how you can use and combine them.

I’m “Duplo”, I’m an experienced artist and designer, and I use contrast a lot. In my opinion it’s by far the most underrated art & design principle. While everybody talks about color theory, shape and composition, contrast often seems to be left behind.

Which is quite unfortuante, because viewing art and design through the lense of contrast has completely changed my perspective on it. And now I use it for everything: Finding inspiration, spotting good subjects, aiding my creativity and making more interesting compositions.

In this course I will help you understand contrast on a deeper level.

I will teach you why contrast is so useful and what it can do to viewers of your work. Then I will show you the 10 main types of contrast so you have a large toolkit from which you can choose. Then we will look at some great pieces of art and design and analyze how they use contrast. And after that I’ll give you a few personal tips for how you can apply contrast to your work.

Because with well-chosen contrasts, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a great composition that attracts attention. No matter if you’re painting a picture, creating a poster, making a website or simply thinking about what you should take a photo of.

Whether you’re an artist or designer, doesn’t matter.

Contrast is a universal tool to excel at visual arts, that you can master rather quickly if you become aware of it and learn a few basics.
