  • Color values

    Painting color is a tricky thing. It´s easy to slap a few flat colors on something but to make them a harmonious whole, to know where to apply those tonal differences, that´s the hard part. Since I´ve started doing color studies the past few weeks I´m already starting to notice that where applying color and light once filled me with a minor sense of dread, it is now slowly becoming automatism. It is training to see more than training to paint, really.

    The way strong light illuminates and scatters through hair has always been a fascinating phenomenon to me. It looks so great. Any sort of rim lighting always makes things look more interesting.
