Hi Sharon
I meant working from photos.Obviously you cannot see the complementarity on a photo,but you always do a complementary choice when working, first when you take a blue-grey or agreen-grey paper (it's complementary to the complexion) , second when you put on paper colours that mixed toghether let you get the complexion from a distance. Tomorrow I'll post a visible procedure so you 'll understend.Of course you must have been learnt it after painting from life before applying it to a photo.
By the way , the two portraits above are from Gustav klimt ,the great master that in spite of been realistic used the complementarity law from impressionism.
Your paintings are delicious to me . I admire who does things that I would't even think about. Strong and equilibrated colors and a beauty of a fimale face that seems childish , sensual and regal at the some time.
Ciao
Adriano
