COLOURS



For my artwork i chose to use only a little colours and each colour represents a meaning in it.

I used:

RED
Red is used on the Rose because in my artwork it represents Love.


Red is used as a symbol of guilt, sin, passion, and anger, often as connected with blood or sex.
The color red is associated with lust, passion, love, beauty, and danger. The association with love and beauty is possibly related to the use of red roses as a love symbol. Both the Greeks and the Hebrews considered red a symbol of love as well as sacrifice.



BROWN
Brown is just used on the stem of the Rose which is the colour of a typical rose stem.


Wood brown is a color that resembles wood.
The source of this color is the 1912 book Color Standards and Color Nomenclature by Robert Ridgway. This color list was intended for biology and botany and is now on the Internet.
Thus, this color name has been in use since 1912.






GREEN :
The typical colour of a Rose's leaf.


In many folklores and literatures, green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and its embodied attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth. Green was symbolic of resurrection and immortality in Ancient Egypt; the god  was depicted as green-skinned. It is often used to describe foliage and the sea, and has become a symbol of environmentalism.




BLACK:
Black is used to represent the depression in it.


Black is the colour of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Black is a symbol of mourning and bereavement in Western societies, especially at funerals and memorial services. Black briefly describes the expression of depression.
