My mom requested a valentines day style painting, and I love how the flamingos look, but I hate this background. Id love some suggestions on how to change it. That can mean adapting the current background in some way, or completely covering it and doing something new. I have no problem doing that.
Can anyone offer their ideas? Thanks in advance.
That would mean a whole lot of reds which would probably swallow the flamingos.
Make it orange
That’s still very little contrast.
Make it green then
I get a vague feeling you’re not actually trying to help.
You asked what I would do to improve the background and I gave you a suggestion that you shot down based on your interpretation of a sunset so I suggested different colors. Not sure what kind of help you’re expecting.
I’m not the OP but suggesting a green sunset is unusual to say the least. What do you mean by “your interpretation of a sunset”? I think most people, when thinking of a sunset, would primarily think of a lot of warm colours like red and orange and yellow. Sure there’s a point where the light from the sun has faded enough for dark blues to start to dominate again but that’s not exactly the first thing that comes to mind for “sunset”. Conveying that imagery in a clear way might also be tricky to pull off in OP’s image with the limited space.
I didn’t mean a green sunset. That comment was in response to the desire for more contrast. A green background would contrast well with pink flamingos.
Okay, I see now what you’re saying but you have to admit, saying “make it green then” when we’re talking about a specific thing, a sunset, sounds like your “it” is the thing we’re talking about.
Contrast also isn’t as easy as just putting complementary colours next to each other.

Did you just generate that? Why?
I googled flamingos in front of sunset to show you examples of what I meant. I think some of these look nice.
