Contrast is the distance of a value range, the contrast can be from black to White or anywhere in between, strong contrast allow to see the image it is formed, the higher the contrast the more basic the shape becomes, a strong light source creates a distinctive subject with strong shadow pattern
The gouache cover deeper, so the color difference gave us a big advantage for this purpose
You have many options with color contrast, because the color have so many properties like:
Value.- light to dark
Hue.- complementary colors from the opposite side in the color Wheel
Intensity.- brigth to grey
Obviously black next to White is the strongest value, but middle dark to middle light will also créate contrast, just more a subltle one , the same is true for hue, of course you don´t need to go that far, as long as the strongest contrast is reached in your painting either with warm to cool contrast
In my painting I took advantage of gouache pigment properties of covering so the tres were made with dark Green blending with burnt umber, while the wáter was made with cerulean and high contrast shadows of ultramarine wit burnt umber , the yellow always it´s a good option to enhance bright color and even the small rainbow gives more life to this painting
