With this oil I tried to work with fiery colors to express a mood, but also the power and strength of trained muscles.
I used just a little bit of a complimentary color (blue/green in his hand) to give the red tones an extra enhancement!
Result: a conjugation of complimentary colors of this expressionistic torso!

Some info about choice of colors:
The complementary color scheme is made of two colors that opposite each other on the color wheel. This scheme looks best when you put a warm color against a cool color, for example, red versus green-blue. As you can see the complementary scheme is intrinsically high-contrast.
It is important just to use this complementary color for accents.

Special thanks to LOREDANA -one of our most accomplished photographers of ArtWanted!
