COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS

Complementary colours are pairs of colours which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grey-scale colour like black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colours.
In the traditional model, a complementary colour pair is made up of a primary colour (magenta, cyan and yellow) and a secondary colour (green, violet or orange). For example, yellow is a primary colour, and painters can make violet by mixing of red and blue; so when yellow and violet paint are mixed, all three primary colours are present. Since paints work by absorbing light, having all three primaries together results in a black or grey color


Divide each rectangle into different parts using a ruler or set squares, draw these lines with the 0,2 fine liner, then fill each area using a pair of complementary colours:

PRIMARY.......................................................SECONDARY
CYAN..........................................ORANGE (yellow+magenta)
MAGENTA...........................................GREEN (yellow+cyan)
YELLOW...........................................PURPLE(magenta+cyan)

Try to use different textures, techniques and shades of the same colour. If you want to use felt tip pens as well as colour pencils, you´ll be able to get more vibrant colours.

TEXTURE

DEFINITION OF TEXTURE:
The quality of a surface, often corresponding to its tactile character. or how it feels to touch.
Texture may be created explicitly in art, but it can also be implied through the use of line, shading and colour variants.
