THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COMPOSITION AND COLOR HARMONY IN PAINTING

This article is devoted to the study of the theoretical foundations of composition and color harmony in painting. It analyzes the interrelationship between color and composition in the formation of a work of visual art. During the research, the main principles of composition—such as balance, rhythm, contrast, and unity—are examined, and their harmonious interaction with color is discussed. In addition, the fundamental aspects of color theory, including the color wheel, color contrast, the psychological effects of colors, and their role in visual perception, are analyzed on a scientific basis.
