Description
Feb 2010- The Gypsy Rose- I had so many ideas for my second painting that I spent the entire month getting lost in them. It deflated me and I eventually finished this painting by early march.Related content

I wondered how long this little baby would be neglected for lol
I normally start off by filling my canvas with my main dark tone and then build up my paintings with BIG blobs of colour using a BIG brush (chalk/charcoal in photoshop)- I prefer to work from my darks to midtones then up to my lights. An important note to remember- sometimes if the colour in a painting is looking off, its not always necessary to change the hue/colour, but rather increase the saturation slightly within the same value of that hue/colour.
I'd recommend you read Andrew Loomis "Creative Illustration". Its priceless. Pay particular attention to the chapters on value and colour. I read them both daily for months (honestly) and still use those chapters (and book) as reference. Also look at Charles Sovek website and look up "lessons from the easel" section. You'll find alot of good information on values and colour theory and more. Hope this helps or answers your question

I think we all have a hard time with colour and applications like photoshop and painter dont help much as there are limitless amounts of colours to choose from. Keep things simple. Keep your colour choices to a minimum. Traditional "how to" books offer a better insight into colour theory than digital "how to" books. After all, digital applications are based on traditional sources.
