Complements - Violet and Yellow

101407 Artist Kenneth John KEN


making a complementary color scheme with violet and yellow is sometimes difficult. the contrasts are very extreme. the values are the biggest contrast on the color wheel, the violet is the darkest and the yellow is the lightest. usually the primary yellow works better in a split complementary color scheme, using it with blue-violet and red-violet. be careful of using your bright yellow paints, they can become too rich.


"glare path " palette- ultramarine blue, cadium red deep, cadium yellow pale, cadium yellow deep, titanium white.
