Out of all the design elements, color seems to be one that people tend to struggle with when creating. A while ago i suggested to go monochromatic. it can produce some amazing results. Today i am challenging you to go Complementary. Complementary colors are ones that sit directly across from each other on the color wheel, like the ones above. They create dynamic pieces when the warm & cool colors are paired together.
This piece places Red & Green together for a piece that pops. The yellow-green on the background creates a dramatic back drop for the red flowers. The green stems just add to the piece. I used acrylics to create this small art.
I know i cannot resist pears. love how this delectable yellow pear is contrasted against the violets. This art piece uses two complementary pairs. I mixed in some stamps & splatters among the neocolorii crayons and acrylic paints.
I really like how this piece came together. I was going to do blue background, orange birdie but decided to flip it. i am so very happy i did. This little cutie is a watercolor creation along with a waterproof pen. He makes me so happy. I definitely dig the contrast.
So which complementary color combo are you going to try today?
