It's been a long time since creating a tag for the Tag Tuesday fortnightly challenge.... The current theme is 'orange and purple' . I made this tag for the challenge as a collage constructed from magazine pages , with a photo transferred as another layer. The photo is one of a tree in my street and from a laser print, I transferred part of it to the collage background with acrylic medium. With such bold colours, the silhouette of the tree branches seems to enhance the vibrancy of these colours.
I am always interested in working out why colours seem to "go together" , so it's always good to go back to the colour wheel.
While not quite analogous, orange and purple are close secondary colour neighbours and they present as a brilliant pairing as they also come from the opposite hot/cool families of colour. We only have to look at Nature to see how well orange and purple go together.
