This keeps the piece feeling unified, and the complements ( orange and blue, yellow and purple, green and red) add some interest.<br /><br />The other thing I love is a single earth tone, like yellow ochre or burnt sienna.<br /><br />The particular colors I choose are influenced by some color present in the room, the model, a reflection on the skin, the sky . . . . It varies.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-88419658968371782013-09-27T14:41:46.319-05:002013-09-27T14:41:46.319-05:00Thanks, all.

She ended up in greys because I love the simple pen and ink washes and felt like doing another.<br /><br />This would have been beautiful in yellow ochre, or some combination of oranges and blues.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-49660401824361451042013-09-25T20:29:18.535-05:002013-09-25T20:29:18.535-05:00Like the others, I like this.

I have no idea how visual artists decide such things.
