A technique I like to incorporate in my painting is to create the illusion of a glow around my bright, reflective surfaces --- extending the color. For instance, a bright magenta flower next to a dark background will extend its bright color into the surrounding atmosphere. So when “visually mixed,” I paint a soft pinkish halo around the bright magenta flower. Adding spots of the same magenta color in different values overall pulls the painting together for me.
