RED AND GREEN

Here are my latest samples.  I am now working in colour - the complementary colours of red and green.  I have used acrylics and oil pastels on A2 paper.  Each one uses a different ratio of red to green.  It is interesting to see that the red comes forward and the green recedes.





These aren't colours that I have often used on their own.  I do like the effect - the two colours vibrate off each other to make an exciting combination. This can be found in nature - think of the stunning sight of a green field full of red poppies!
