Red is the colour I find hardest to work with. I n Red is the colour I find hardest to work with. I never go for it unless it's a 'blood red' or a magenta, then I love it, but pure primary red is just SO jarring for me. So, for Kaleidoscope I challenged myself to work with it in its pure hue (no tints were allowed as that would make pink and I love pink!) and I also challenged myself to make it the dominant colour. Now, I had some help from Mr Van Gogh, as this is inspired by one of his paintings, but I think I did pretty well and even started loving primary red a little. 🙂🙃🙂
