This painting is done by an analogous scheme based on the color blue. The story behind this painting is inspired during a hiking with the painter’s own family at Lake Mineral Wells. The color blue was use because the painter wishes to capture the cool breeze and cold feeling after a long day. This also show the mood of the painter when he was doing his painting.
Complementary color:
-
Colors that are
opposite to each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange. It is use
to create a more energetic feeling. The high contrast creates a vibrant view
especially during full saturation.

lake at sunset, Connie Mulloy
This painting is complete with 3 color
which is the thalo blue, cadmium yellow and cadmium orange. This painting has
not much of a meaning behind it but the usages of complementary color are quite
obvious and are easy to see. The painter also use some white color just to make
the yellow and orange more clear and fresh from each other.
Split-complementary color:
-
Have a main color and
two color each side of the opposite color on the color wheel. These color are
one hue and two space from its opposite. Mostly uses in presentation using a
computer in order tom maintain high contrast and avoid fatigue.
