More fun with complementary colours

Meet Harry, a Pig with a Purpose.
He is part of my growing "funny farm" which includes so far 3 sheep and this pig.
Watch for coming attractions: goats, chickens, ducks, pigs. All in fabulous and fashionable complementary colours.
Art doesn't have to be so serious; some fun is allowed and encouraged.

Fun with Complementary colours



An orange sheep? Sure! Why not?

Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and "call each other out" to play, they add vibrancy to a painting.

They are pairs of a primary colour (red, yellow and blue) and a secondary colour that does not contain it.
As in: orange (yellow + red) and blue; green (yellow + blue) and red; purple (blue + red) and yellow.
In these examples the colour of the sheep is complementary to the colour of the backgound.
The orange sheep is in a private collection.
