Picasso then was away from his family, unappreciated and unrecognized and also in poverty. He was going through the worst phase of his life and he later explained, “It was thinking about Casagemas that got me started painting in blue.”

The Old Guitarist, one of the finest paintings of Picasso was crafted during this period. It was a true realistic art with every emotion highlighted at its best. Some of the other famous paintings of that period are Portrait of Soler in 1903 and Las Dos Hermanas in 1904.

It was a deliberate choice as blue to him meant deep and calm, a great significance of despair and misery and intense hopelessness.

The gloomy effect and the state of melancholy can be well depicted by these shades. In some of his paintings you might note abnormality in color schemes, but if you take a look at the luminance you will see it’s perfect. Concentrate on these factors.

If the colors, it is also important to have the characters in place. You might choose to paint any subject, but you need to represent the emotional state of the subject very well, so that the viewer can connect to the feel.

You should have a look at some of the Blue Period paintings before you actually attempt one.
