Welcome to localartist.org.uk. The purpose of this site is to enable artists of all levels to showcase their work in an environment that encourages them to contribute good quality material that otherwise would remain beyond view in private collections, often never seeing the light of day. We are based in the United Kingdom, and although the central focus of the material is UK-based, we will be welcoming submissions from all over the world.

To new artists, when first encountered, this term can be quite confusing. What does it mean? How will I know what is a complementary colour? There is a clear explanation for the phrase. - In art terms, Complementary is another way of saying 'opposing'.
- Two opposing colours allow each one to be made more clear or more dominant.
- Each opposing colour 'zings' against the other, highlighting both.
- Complementary colours follow the following basic pattern:-
- Red/Green, Blue/Orange and Purple/yellow.
- All shades in between follow the basic principle.
