There are mqny, especially beginners that hesitate to use complimentary colors that are the main colors of the painting...thank you for showing us how lovely they can be and can play nicely! I always look forward to new subjects. I especially love the sea creatures and anything that has to do with the ocean. Thank you, I can't wait for the tutorials of the crab and seal.

    Just love it! Think that crab would make a great story book character. The complementary scheme worked so well. Thanks for tip on not having equal amounts of both -- make one more dominant. Wondering how other complementary colours would work on that crab subject; like red/green or blue/orange. Your line drawings look so accurate. Maybe some day you will share tips on how to get better at line drawings. Thank you so much Louise.
