Summer Sketchbook Poster Site

Sketchbook Prompt:  

Make a piece of art using the complementary colors:

Blue & Orange

What are complementary colors?

They are two colors on opposite sides of the color wheel, when you place them next to each other they make the other color look brighter. The complementary color of a primary color (red, blue, and yellow) is the color you get by mixing the other two (red + blue = purple; blue + yellow = green; red + yellow = orange). So the complementary color for red is green, for blue it’s orange, and for yellow it’s purple.
