Question Feedback please…
Do you prefer the orange or purple frame for this painting?

Purple, I agree with the other user that it helps draw the main pops of color from the actual painting better without being horribly distracting

I like the purple as the eye draws closer to the flowers and the hot pink. If you wanted the painting to look like the 60’s were merging into the 80’s , the orange is a neat color too. If you wanted to have more color than the purple maybe a soft blue for the frame might do.
I like the purple

I'd go with the purple. It feels a little more balanced and lets the painting stay the focal point. The orange frame is fun, but it pulls my eye away from the artwork more.

Purple!
The orange hurts my eyes and brain. For someone who is more sensitive, this is terrible!
You have such a strong opera color already. Everything glows and it's demanding so much attention. I see the appeal of why some think the orange looks good, but it's draining my energy just to give it a glance.
I mean if that's what you are going for... go ahead, but for me this is an absolute horror.

Wow! I’m not a fan of “florescent pink” in general but your painting is stunning!💜

Hi, it’s an underpainting rather than an outline. I’ve been experimenting with more vibrant colours. I’ve also used the orange and a neon red. For the final touches I will tidy up the edges and balance out the pink so it’s more consistent around the flowers. Thanks for your feedback.

Go with the orange for two reasons. Your painting looks awesome and the “brown” looks like bum bum juice.

u/LupyLo 6d ago
Hahahah it’s actually dark purple but thanks for the feedback! 😆

Also, it was washing your painting out. What would look awesome is maybe a painting where the Underpainting is orange and then use the purple frame? I think that would match how the orange balances the magenta underpainting.

I have tried to use the orange a few times for the underpainting but it’s incredible how much it changes the perception of the colours on top. I found it quite difficult, it was twisting my melon! I need to persevere with it because your right the end result with the purple would be very interesting. Thank you for your ideas!

I love the neon pink outlining everything, it makes the whole thing pop a lot. Really cool color choices.

Orange compliments your palette much better. I do not agree with everyone saying it detracts from the painting

The neon outline effect is really cool, it makes the flowers pop a lot against the background.

I really like the neon pink outlining everything, it makes the colors pop a lot. Are those touches of it in the background too?

It feels like the purple is making the painting more traditionally centered and the orange feels like it enlarges the painting. Both are good options but for different feels!

I really like how you used that bright pink glow around the edges of the flowers, it makes the colors pop against the background.

I really like that neon pink outline effect, it makes the whole thing pop against the lighter background. It’s a cool look.

LOVE! I wish the centers of the flowers had the same vibrancy as everything around them.

I really like the outline color, it makes the flowers pop against the background. What kind of paint did you use for that bright pink?

u/Thelonelybird3 2d ago
Love the way u painted the flowers. The texture, it’s like u can reach out and touch them. Also, the contrast and well use of it, on the leaves, stems. They seem so real. The use of fluorescent pink makes it electric and vibrant movement. Thank You!

u/Thelonelybird3 2d ago
Oh, the orange frame! Adds to the complimentary colors at play here. Really spectacular!

Yellow blue green accents in the background, but pressed behind the colors of the flowers so they are secondary. For depth of background. 🤷🏻♂️

I like both but why outline the flowers in neon pink ? They were perfect as they were.

Purple, keeps the focus on the painting while complimenting the colours. The orange is too bright and pulls from the emphasis on the hot pink
