Tranquillity

Description

I have used the lighter tones, mostly pastels and whites, with lemon yellow shades for the background.
Color is light and light is energy. Color can stimulate and excite us. It can make us feel happy, tranquil… and can calm us down too.

Pastels are less saturated than primary colors, making them feel light, soft, and calming. Reminds us of spring, and they work well with neutral colors to create a feeling of earthiness and sophistication. Dreamy pastel colors take us back to our childhood. And help us escape reality.
Before we ever heard of pastel colors, there were pastels as an art medium. The name is derived from the Late Latin word pastellus, which means paste. Artists made them of powdered pigments and a binder like gum Arabic. They often added some chalk or pipe clay to get a soft hue of the original color. It has been said that Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was one of the first artists who worked with this medium. However, it lasted until the 17th and 18th century when pastel painting became really fashionable. In France the medium, and thus the color was linked to the frivolity of the ancien régime. It became the color of the 18th century fashionistas. Queen of Versailles, Marie Antoinette, walked around in France with the same love of pastel colours.
