Yellow and Purple don't really suit me I think. This portrait has a very vague resemblance to me, like it could be an unknown sister or fraternal twin. I did it as a study in complementary colors. That means that they combine to enhance the qualities of each other (thank you Webster). They also combine to create interesting neutrals. Originally I only used those 2 colors and white, but later I added a touch of red to the skin tones. On the other hand, complimentary (with an "i" not an "e") refers to praise or giving something free of charge. I know people who are very complimentary, but not very authentic. I know people who give free of charge, like advice or their opinion, or even criticism, and it just isn't nice or helpful. So, instead of being a complimentary person, I think I will stick with complementary and enhance the qualities of another. Next time I do a complementary selfie though, I will try it with Christmas colors, green and red, or maybe orange and blue...to see which pair complements me the most! Go Figure!
