Predominantly Yellow Predominantly Purple
After my inspiring trip to the Edgar Payne exhibit in Tulsa, I returned to the studio and cracked open my Payne book on composition. The book shows some sample exercises on color relationships, particularly on the use of complementary colors. The first one I've done is Yellow/Purple. Both of these small studies use the same colors, but in different proportions. As you can hopefully see above, the study on the left uses more yellow than purple and the study on the right is the reverse, more purple than yellow. All of the colors contain yellow and purple, with the addition of some orange, white and green. I then took the same colors and did a floral using more purple than yellow. My next post will show the result.
