a- In a 6-hue color wheel, complementary colors can be found opposite from one another. One of the rules we learn as painters are that color opposites cancel each other out when mixed. examples of complementary colors are Red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. Artists use these to their advantage all the time. For example, sunsets with gradients from deep blues to bright oranges are more eye-catching because they rely on simultaneous contrast. Similarly, if your tube of red paint isn’t lively enough, paint something green next to it.

When you’re mixing paint, look to the hue’s complimentary first, because it can make wonderful things happen. For example, choosing to blend the complementary color into the main color of a subject is one of the best ways to paint dynamic shadows.
Optical color mixing is a phenomenon that happens when a viewer perceives color in an image as a result of two or more colors that are positioned next to, or near each other. The perceived color is not actually on the surface. Instead, the color that the viewer perceives is what color(s) would result from the mixing of the colors that are actually on the surface. In other words, if yellow and blue are placed on a surface in close enough proximity to one another. The viewer may perceive that the color green is present. Even though it is not on the surface at all.
Since pure colors are laid next to each to create this effect, the intensity of the perceived color is arguably stronger. Rather than what would result from mixing those colors with paint or another colored medium. Of course, some artistic control of the resulting perceived color is sacrificed for the stronger intensity.
Play around with these concepts and do some test mixing and sample swatches to see how your complementary paints affect one another. In general, if you’re ever stuck on mixing or blending a particular paint, always consider its complement. Quite often, the answer to your problem is right there on the color wheel.

b- Complementary colors are any two colors that exist across from each other on the color wheel. You take one primary color, and it’s complementary color is the mixture of the other two primary colors. So take blue and it’s complementary color is orange, which is red and yellow mixed together. These colors are important to think about whenever you are planning composition. Based on how you want to compose your piece you can determine if complementary colors could benefit the work. You can use these colors to create shadows, or even to help make colors appear to be brighter. According to lifehacker.com “These create a high contrast, so use them when you want something to stand out. Ideally, use one color as background and the other as accents. Alternately, you can use tints and shades here; a lighter tint of blue contrasted against a darker orange, for example.” You can also use what is known as split complementary colors. This when you take one color, red for example, and you pair it with blue-green and yellow-green. Optical color blending or optical color mixing is when a viewer thinks they are perceiving a color that is not there. This happens when the viewer see’s at least two colors that are next to or near each other. The color that you appear to perceive is generally a mix of the colors that are actually there. If you are seeing a red background full of purple circles you may have the perception of seeing purple. When these colors are actually mixed together they may appear to be a little bit dull, while optical blending retains the intensity. You can notice this in everyday objects such as television screens, clothing, and many more. Yundle.com says that, “Optical mixing technique is commonly used for creating a glazing effect in painting and is popularly used in Impressionist and pointillist painting.” The blending can take place at large and smaller levels. If you have a pattern of large yellow circles next to large blue circles you will appear to see a little bit of green. If you change the sizes and have tiny blue and yellow circles it will appear very green.
