Tone is similar to tine and shade that shows the followings-
“TONE is light and dark. Light reveals, shows the world to us, and shadow gives meaning to the things we see.
TONE can give solidity, volume and weight to an image
TONE gives the impression of distance. Darker tones come forward and lighter tones go back into the image.
TONE can give emotion to an image. Highly contrasting tones give life and energy, softer tones give a gentle mood.
TONE can create rhythm, with the eyes jumping from one dark tone to another.
TONE is the property of color. Yellow is light, blue is dark.
TONE in sculpture is the way it catches the light, so that sharp changes are made by deep corners, and gentle ones by smooth gradual changes.”
