For the questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Okay, so which one do you need help with? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually 2. Haha, the harmony and variety one.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Oh, well for the harmony one.. I think it is the style of which they are dressed.. annnnnd not sure bout the second thing.. but I think it is the paintings in the background. For the variety one.... I have no clue. o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I was thinking too, I just didnt know what else. Haha, I think I can figure it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think for variety it's the color in some areas and the shading where it is darker and lighter.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Yeah, I thought about that too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You put harmony and variety on a painting, two both. You need both to bing it balance. You can obtain harmony with colors, forms, lines, etc., that are similar to create unity; and you can get variety using contrasts of colors, shapes, positions, etc., in order to give to your painting or desing, a visual interest. If set so much harmony, your painting looks too boring. If you put so much variety, your painting seems like a mess. That's why you need a balance. But you need to stand out something in your painting, using a focal point; a point you want all the looks be focused.
