#Complementary Colors

Want realistic shadows? Don’t use black, use color theory! 🎨 @watercolor_arezoo Here’s a pro-level tip to make your paintings pop: use complementary colors for your shadows! Instead of starting this red apple with red, I began with its complement, green, in the areas where the shadows would be. When you glaze the main color (red) over its complement (green), the colors partially neutralize each other, creating a shadow that is deep, rich, and looks completely natural. This technique, called complementary underpainting, is a game-changer for adding depth and realism to your work! Save this to try on your next painting! And follow for more watercolor secrets that will elevate your art.

Colour theory made simple! Let's talk colour groups first. There can be other colour groups too but these are what were mentioned in my lecture Complimentary: opposites Triadic: 3 colours equally distanced Tetradic: 4 colours equally distanced (this can also be known as the square group) Split complimentary: 1 main colour, 2 that are either side of the complimentary Analogue: 3 colours next to each other, adjacent (Monochramtic is 1 single colour)

Want realistic shadows? Don’t use black, use color theory! 🎨🎃 @watercolor_arezoo Here’s a pro-level tip to make your fall paintings pop: use complementary colors for your shadows! Instead of starting this orange pumpkin with orange, I began with its complement, blue, in the areas where the shadows would be (the deep ridges). When you glaze the main color (orange) over its complement (blue), the colors partially neutralize each other, creating a shadow that is deep, rich, and looks completely natural. This technique, called complementary underpainting, is a game-changer for adding depth and realism to your work! . Save this to try on your next painting!
