Night Sky over the City
Gouache on cotton paper

Someone suggested that I paint a landscape with that crazy color triad I tried out in my last color wheel, the one with fluorescent pink, vivid teal, and muted yellow. So here it is! Now, one of the colors I used is opera pink, which contains fluorescent dye, and fluorescent paints are ALWAYS fugitive, which means they will fade over time with exposure to light. So I mixed in some better lightfast magenta with the pink, so that when the fluorescence fades, the pink will still remain. All the rest of these colors aren’t going anywhere.
