Yellow Yellow Yellow


I have two favourite colour combos for paintings at the moment. The first is the palette of a treasured childhood sweet: the pink and yellow (and soft orange where they meet) of Fruit Salads. The second is a similarly bright blue and yellow (mixing to make beautiful seaweed and emerald greens). These combinations are slight deviations from primary colours, so they retain a bright, primary pop with the added nuance of a little bit of messily created secondary (pink-orange and blue-green brush strokes with varying thickness and translucency). They are bright and loud and delicious. They remind me of Shampoo and that whole bubblegum rude youth section of 90s britpop.
