In this painting I see a man and a woman kissing, mostly the man kissing the woman's neck for her pleasure. this painting is very dull with it's colors, and the two people look abstract except the face. The face looks more realistic than anything else besides the hands and feet. You can only see the woman's face in thins picture, and most of the colors in the painting are browns and blacks, but some greens and light blues. I think that this painting's element of art is line because it shows a lot of lines and sharp angles but also soft to express the moment of the kiss. And i think the principle of art this painting has is Emphasis because everything in the backgrounds really blend in but the woman's face is very pale compared to it making it stand out.

In this painting, I see two people kissing and I can defenatly see the love from the woman and probably the man too (I can see the woman's face). The colors are very simple, except for a few places there are some spots of purple, green, and other simple but nice looking colors. There is a lot of sand-like colors that range from a darker brown background to a bright yellow-brown. One element of art is shape.
The picture is 2-D and is enclosed with an outline. One principle of design is contrast. You can definatly tell between the elements of line, shape, color, value, space, and texture.
