Painting practice - Week 5 - Colors - Light settings

Schoolism Course:  Painting with Light and Color Course 


Lesson: 5 - Color Study Goal: Keep improving color relationships through observation 


What I’ve Learned: 

1 - Some materials with handdrawn texture painting in real life become very though to translate into a painting, especially if part of the texture has the same color of the light. 

2 - I need to learn how to stage my pictures better. I was a bit lazy and relied a lot on what I was able to put together quickly. The final results are sometimes better than other 

3 - I actually enjoy putting handwritten fonts into my paintings, it make them feel more whimsical 

4 - Direct light always brings out more color and saturation and nuances from the starting local colors 

5 - I need to find a better solution to indicate very grainy materials 


Additional Notes: Plants are still a nightmare
