Tip #11 Repeating colours

10/5/2020

1 Comment

 
A good trick to "unify" a composition is to repeat a colour elsewhere in the painting. If you use red somewhere, you can add small touch of red in two other locations. I like to "triangulate my repeats, with the three areas of very similar colour forming a triangle in the painting. I don't know for sure if it helps liven up the piece but I find myself jumping from the blues to the blues and the oranges to the oranges, linking the dots and therefore creating in my mind a network. Sometimes, the colour will be duller in the distance but it still reads as the same colour.
