Complementary Colors
This next portfolio entry talks about practicing color theory through the same painting. As a base, I painted the corner of a flower with the brush tool in Photoshop. The hardness and softness of the brush were varied to add more depth and texture to each petal. I've also gone ahead and painted multiple times on most of the feathers for emulation of light. Once the basic flower painting was completed, I wanted to practice the use of color theory. While this may seem like a silly idea at first, color theory is actually one of the most important aspects of art. It's the way we organize color to either emphasize or harmonize the artwork's qualities. The three examples of color theory I've chosen to practice were complementary, analogous, and triadic.
