But I'm wondering about the blue at the side that 'runs off' the picture and takes your eye out if it rather than around?

Not that blue though, but it must be something to do with the season? ;-)<br />About the #3 I much prefer it with the blue bottom left hand corner. I like the way the edges are hard in this part, as opposed to the rest, and that blue kind of lightens up the whole thing.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381951092567074393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-20470470774704424102017-04-04T13:59:07.221-04:002017-04-04T13:59:07.221-04:00All gorgeous, great idea and something I must try ...All gorgeous, great idea and something I must try too.

As demonstrated in #4, it would only take leaving a tiny bit of that blue to balance the other two blue areas.<br /><br />This series is a great demonstration of playing with varying proportions and intensities of complementary colors.

I really like the pieces above that are mostly orange with tiny bits of blue. I know these are beautifully vibrant, but what would you say about mixing blues and oranges to get various interesting neutrals? <br /><br />I've been on an orange kick for a few months (several paintings) and for the first time all that you've said in the past about working in series is making sense to me. (yes, I am very slow) For me its been about following what I am interested / curious about. I looked back at some of your blog posts about working in series and you talk about working with an idea... I think its the same thing. I am finding using my sketchbook very supportive in keeping the thread going.<br /><br />p.s. my current favorite combination is various shades of orange with small areas of purple - the one I'm using is Blick Matte Acrylic Purple Madder.

It also creates a 3D illusion (blue being foreground).
