Craig Mullens watercolours

I am planning to use watercolour in my animation and I have researched an illustrator called Craig Mullens who uses all types of mediums including watercolour and I really admire his use of watercolour and colours in general. Mullens has used knowledge of colour theory to make his paintings more appealing. For example he puts purple and yellow next to each other in the painting below as they are complementary colours. I also like his definitive rendering of form with colour and value.

In the second watercolour painting I like the colour choices as he also uses complementary colours of vermillion and teal, this makes the painting very harmonious. I also like the loose definition of form and the almost abstract rendering of form.
