Paul Taggart Painting Snippet - Complementary Background - Part 1

This Paul Taggart Painting Snippet, inspired by a query posted by Apala Mukund from India, in the Art Clinic section of Paul Taggart's main website, shows Paul demonstrating the benefit of a complementary background to set-off the vivid colours of a flower head.

Follow this two-part video and watch it in conjunction with the three-part dedicated tutorial 'A Brush With Colour Mixing -- Complementary Mixes' on his free-to-view, on-line painting magazine...........

where you can post a query on his Art Clinic from which Paul will select the subject for future Painting Snippets -- like Apala Mukund's which inspired this four-part video Painting Snippet.

"I always loved water painting but only now I have had the time to "learn" drawing and painting. In my search for some good books, I came across your Art Techniques series. It is very helpful. My question is: How do I decide on the colour of the back ground when painting say something like a flower? I tried using complementary colours but it did not come out well. Can you please give some suggestions?"
