Complimentary Color

Jane Hammond, Sore Model# 4,
 Exhibited at Team Gallery, Fall 1994
Contemporary Art (Larry Qualls Archive)
Comositions that employ hues that lie opposite each other on the color wheel, as opposed next to each other are called complementary color scheme. Sora is dominated by warm colors, red, orange and yellow but accenting these warm colors are contrasting areas of blue and light blue. When two complements appear in the same composition each will appear more intense. If placed next to each other without mixing complements seem bright than if they appear alone.
