I do a painting challenge with my sister and a friend and this month we are looking at complimentary colours to create shadows...it’s a fascinating process. Thanks for this tutorial. As with all your others, there’s always something new to learn. Happy painting everyone 😁🙏
Love these quick fixes videos Harriet!✨ So helpful to explore these examples, addressing questions we always have when it comes to shadows. Great exercise and such a relaxing watch🧡😊
Most excellent. Yep, complimentary colors are excellent for shadow. You can put the complimentary (shadow) on first and go over it with the primary and it looks more natural to boot. I took Payne's Grey out of my daily pallet for a bit. I keep a black & will mix in a blue, purple, green, whatever if I want a black mix or grey shadow of some sort.
We call them (the fruit) mandarins in New Zealand & clementines & satsumas are types of mandarins here... just thought you might be interested with that piece of info.😊
I like doing complementary colors for shadows, and it typically works great -- except when I try using red as a shadow on green. Either the red takes over, or it looks muddy. I am using transparent, non-granulating reds. Any tips?
You could experiment with different shades of green and red? Maybe the colours aren't exact opposites? (Only a beginner here, but my artsy friends helped me with this before)

I appreciate that in all your teaching you have more hints for us to learn 🙂Thanks for the lesson and for the beautiful backyard photos!
You are so welcome!
Love this… helps me see the differences clearly
I haven’t tried it yet on any of my artwork. The different effects that the various colours produce are really interesting.

I’m in NZ too, and I was thinking that those are mandarins.

I don't see the point of switching camera views. It makes trying to zoom in frustrating.!
