Try the warmest warm and coolest cools to depict temperature
Now is the time of the year us Northerners think about going south for the winter. You might not want to take this boat there, but it was sure fun to paint. I found this picture on the shores of Cancun years ago. One thing about art, it’s a great way to add color and bring warmth into your home. I love how the scraggly tree intertwines with the boat and water.
Dark Turquoise and Red Orange are two of the most dramatic color complements on the wheel contrasting as the coolest cool and the warmest warm. Often we see these colors used in festive dish sets and orange is known for its effectiveness in marketing food items. This palette easily translates the temperature of the scene so decide which color you want to dominate. If evenly balanced, their relationship generally becomes uncomfortable for the viewer. Add warmth with Red-Orange or add Turquoise to take away heat. Mixing these colors with whites, yellows and grays reduces their intensity.
