 Morning class, I'm Will Kemp from Wilk Kemp Art School and today we're going to have a look at complementary colors red and green and see how by adding green to your red you can tone it down to help balance your paintings. Okay, let's get started. This is the green made with ultramarine blue and cad yellow light. So here we've created an absolutely lovely green just by adding a bit of the green's complement red to it. This is really handy to create subtler tones in your painting which will give you a lot more professional finish. So I'm going to darken down this green a bit just a bit more blue. So you can see how when we look at the green just on its own here, just with the yellow and the blue, when we add the red to it, which seems a lot brighter color, it tones it down so it's not as hard, it's not as hard a green, it kind of mellows it out and then it goes right through to the middle and then you get this nice kind of mid tone of brown on here. This is with the phthalo blue with the green bias. See how this is a lot stronger than these other greens. So you can see how this side on the greens with a little bit of red in, it doesn't change it that much, they're still a lot closer to this main green. But as we go further into the center, everything gets a lot, lot closer together.
