FLORAL COLLAGE - PAINTING WITH COMPLEMENTS

A MIXED-MEDIA PIECE FOR SPRING!
Intermediate colors found opposite each other on the color wheel are some of my fave pairs to paint with. In this instance, red-violet and yellow-green make a striking combo in my opinion, especially with the addition of black and white.

A single ply of a printed paper napkin was used at right.
Scumbling loosely is a technique I really like with acrylics...love soft edges. Right now I'm working on another floral still life, very different from this, but with another pair of complementary intermediate colors!
