Monochromatic paintings force the students to control not only the value of color but the colors intensity. Color Intensity is controlled through varying mixtures of colors and their complimentary hues to lessen the strength of the color thus dulling it down. For example if you were doing a painting only in shades of red and you wanted to dull the red used in the background so that it did not compete with the red of your focal point you would use green in your mixture to take away the intensity of the Background red.
