This reminds me a guy who painted with pastels the following way: he usually used, at the same time, brown (or black for very dark areas) and the darker adjacent hue for making shadows; and for lights, he used light blue (or white for lightest areas) and the lighter adjacent hue. Curious.
I was wondering whether it would be appropriate to apply several techniques in the same painting? Like, if I was drawing a dragon and used shading with compliments for his body, and a different technique for his wings? Or if I drew a person within a room and used compliments to shade the person and blacks to shade the room, would that be okay/desiarble? I guess there is no definite answer to that, but what's your opinion?
Also, I wonder whether the use of compliments has some scientific explanation to its realistic look (e.g. refraction of light, or something like that...) Sorry for bothering you with those questions, I hope I didn't get you overstrained.
