MULTIPLE VALUES

This second painting of sunflowers contains three yellow values: lemon yellow, cadmium yellow light, and cadmium yellow. To make the darkest value (seen as shadows), I blended yellow with mauve. Because they are complementary colors, the mauve creates richness in the shadows without looking dull.

I chose blues for background, mainly because they complement the warmer yellows, which have a hint of orange. But I also like the analogous color scheme for this piece. I wanted the background to harmonize with the sunflowers and avoided introducing more colors that could make it look busy and complicated.
