Henri Rousseau Color study

So here's the last project I finished for my Design class. I was assigned an artist (Henri Rousseau) and had to choose one painting to repaint in different color schemes. The first pic, below, is a 4x4 inch square taken from an 8x10 print of one of Rousseau's paintings. So its only a portion of the actual painting.

So i had to use that to repaint the same thing in different color combinations. The first was Achromatic (black and white).
The next was Monochromatic (one color + black and white)





The Third was Analogous (two-three colors right next to eachother on the color wheel), yellow and orange, +black and white
The fourth was Complimentary (colors opposite eachother on the color wheel) orange and blue +black and white
The last one was called Discordant (colors you think will look awful together, or clash) yellow, green, purple, browns, and orange



Here they are all done and mounted together with Rousseau's original at the top.
