The warm yellow, and warm red of this flower do work together really well.
Super beautiful.
I didn't even think about what makes them look so good. You're right. Colors play a big role in the perception of these colors.
In addition, I think the flowers (yellow) around them, help them stand out.
The yellow flowers are beautiful on their own, but in this case, they help the red and yellow flowers shine.
Plus, red is eye-catching! That is why it is used for important signs, break lights, red lights (in traffic light), warning text, etc.
You open up a new understanding of life for me. Open your eyes to the fact that I have never paid attention.
It comes from decades of drawing and painting, and having to understand the physics, geometry, climate, optics and perspective behind it.
It will take me a long time to learn this. To see how you are.
Drawing is fun, and it can be done at every age.
The main thing is that the hands grow from where it is necessary. :)))
