Picture
This was one of the few times I've experimented with acrylic paint. The mixing of red and blue wasn't highly successful during this attempt.

Doing this task was an eye opener to how colour combinations can have a huge effect on imagery and mood. When looking at colour theory in the library, I found a book that went into more detail on colour relationships and the mood they create.
