Colour is another part to symbolism as it can reperest different things and gives art work it's symbolism though the colour theory. Colour can represt a meaning, gender has a colour representation and age.
Looking at symbolism and colour. Thought i'd pick an illustrator i inspire Jack Teagle.
Shown below an example of Jack Teagles work. The first bit of symbolism on there is that there are peopl and superheros. I like the colour pallute jack teagle uses in particular the flat colour backgrounds Jack Teagle uses. Which fit in good with his block colour style. On the right is some of Jack Teagles comic work. Which Jack Teagle uses a lot of black and white amongst his style in his comics. The Symbolism of the comic image is 2 weirid charactors fighting in a storm. Like the use of black and white on that image. And i like were jack teagle has given the symbol of the storm by using smoogey watercolour paint to make the symbol of clouds off different shades.

Katy Dobson
Another artist that uses quite a lot of colour in her work is Katy Dobson. The Colour use on Katy's work represents gender by. The use of colourful mixed oil paint. Were it is normally female artists use bright colours. Katy uses colours in the way of representing the symbolic atmosphere of the situation. Like on figure 3 were it is horses running out of water Katy has used shades of blue from light to dark to represent the splashes from the horses running in water.
