Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 – July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books. He was skilled and imaginative in his art.

                                                              
  Wow!  First it's a Salad Bowl filled with vegetables and then flip it over and it becomes a bearded man wearing a hat!

  



Some art images in the style of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.  Enjoy!

Tints, Shades, and Tones

These terms are often used confused, though they describe  simple color concepts. If a color is made lighter by adding white, the result is called a tint. If black is added, the darker version is called a shade. And if gray is added, the result is a different tone.


A Tint can be called a Pastel. It's any color with white added.
A color scheme using Tints is soft and soothing.




A Shade is simply any color with black added.
Shades are deep and powerful. 



A Tone is created by adding both White and Black. Any color that is "greyed down" is considered a Tone.
Tones are somehow more pleasing to the eye. They are complex and subtle.
