In this image I used analogous colours on my portrait. The background is a mix of red-violet and red, the face is a bright purple, eyes are light red-violet, and the mouth is bright red-violet. These toned colours go well together and the black section contrasts them easily.

For this edit, I switched it up and changed the black to blue and used cool, monochromatic colours of blue. Since blue itself is a darker colour, it doesn't give off the "negative" effect other brighter colours might show.
When I uploaded this photo to blogger, something went wrong and a bit of colour (light purple) was lost in my eyes. I tried re-painting and saving again but it remained the same.
Yellow and purple are complementary colours and they both stand out against the black frame.
My favourite image would have to be the blue monochromatic one because the cool colours ended up looking very nice beside eachother without any black sections. Each image took me a while to paint because there was a lot of pixels I had to zoom in and fill in individually. Next time I could paint over the pixel areas to save myself time.

Kristina, you've done a very good job on this task. You have demonstrated a strong understanding of colour theory and have created some highly representative Warhol images in the process. Your write up is clear and you included an extra image and the original photo. Super good work. Keep it up:)
