There is something about a multicoloured painting that attract the viewers, only if it’s done right!
Let me walk you through one of my multicoloured painting, “It’s Raining Colors!” to understand this balance. Balance the colours without compromising your creativity!
Use a muted background colour in your multicoloured painting
I personally love when a dull/pale colour is splashed with beautiful vibrant colours. There is something about that contrast.
In my art work “It’s Raining Colors!”, I have used a bluish grey background with vibrant colours in the foreground.
Keep one focal point in your multicoloured painting
If we look closely in the art work “It’s Raining Colors!”, the geometric colourful rain drops are the main focus.
The lady with an umbrella is only adding details to the painting. In fact, the lady is also moving your eye towards the abstract rain drops.
The colour of the lady’s dress and her umbrella are kept muted to keep the colourful rain drops as the main focus.
Don’t limit your colours or creativity in a multicoloured painting
If you are not going monochrome or limited colours, it’s absolutely fine. If you take care of previous two points, you can use as many colours as your creativity requires.
Additionally, above points are just suggestions if you are stuck. You can go all in and do something entirely different if that feels right. So, if you want to have a colourful background or multiple focal points in your multicoloured painting, go ahead and do it.
Remember that you have to express your unique voice as an artist, whatever it maybe. Your intuitiveness will tell you when your painting is finished and ready to show this world.
We should know the rules of the creative world well even if we have to break them.
Let the colours on the canvas tell their own story!
