Outside Lies Colorful Magic



For my Outside Lies Magic project part 2, I decided to use red and green as my complimentary color pair. I chose this set because in my personal painting I've tried using red/green palettes and failed to create harmony. I think that's because before I did not realize you can't assume the "primaries" of paint that come straight out of the paint tube are true "primaries." I also find red/green interesting because of how stressful the two colors can be together sometimes if too much pure color is used. The earth tones derived from red/green are exceptionally beautiful and I'm excited to paint with them.
