The Colors of Summer

Summer is here, and with it comes sunshine, festivals, gardens in full bloom, glowing sunsets, and every color imaginable turned up to maximum intensity. It's the perfect season to embrace bold, vibrant color in your artwork! And nothing says "summer" quite like neon and fluorescent hues!

 

Whether you're creating landscapes, abstracts, illustrations, mixed media pieces, or simply experimenting in your sketchbook, luminous colors can bring a surprising burst of energy to your work. A touch of fluorescent pink in a sunset, a streak of electric yellow in a floral painting, or a pop of glowing green in an abstract composition can instantly make a piece feel more alive and contemporary.

 

One of the best ways to work with neons is to use them as accents. Try layering fluorescent colors alongside traditional pigments to create contrast and visual excitement. Neons can make surrounding colors appear richer, brighter, and more dynamic. They also create fascinating effects when used in highlights, reflections, lettering, and graphic elements.
