Color-Texture-Pattern discusses three key visual elements - color, pattern, and texture. For color, it recommends using analogous colors from the color wheel rather than complementary colors, and monochrome palettes. Pattern refers to repeated shapes, colors, or objects that can be regular or irregular, found in nature or designed. Breaking patterns can be dramatic and eye-catching. Texture describes the surface details of an object, whether it feels hard or soft, smooth or rough, which angled lighting can bring out.

2. COLOR
• Color of Subject
• Analogous Colors and not Complimentary
• Analogous Colors are those that are next to each other on the Color wheel: Blue and Green
• Monochrome
• Eg.-autumn leaves – the brilliant Yellows and Reds create a sense of warmth that is
predominantly the result of the Colors alone

3. PATTERN
• Patterns are simply repeated Shapes, Colors or Objects, ordered in either Regular or Irregular
formations
• Both Natural and Man Made
• Emphasizing and Breaking the Pattern
• Breaking the Pattern eg. shot of rows of Red Coloring Pencils, with one Blue one somewhere in
the row
• Dramatic and eye-catching
• Observe.. they are everywhere

4. TEXTURE
• Surface detail of an Object
• Detail can be composed of surface Irregularities
• It conveys how the subject feels ; is it Hard or Soft , Smooth or Rough
• Angled lighting
