Color
Emo Boy—detail of small oil sketch. Painted with reddish earthy browns, earthy yellow, black, and white.
This section covers color-related issues and portraits. I have a color tutorial that discusses "color schemes" and your portrait work, and I have some recommendations of what paints to use in your palette.
Getting pleasing colors for portraits can seem daunting - I hope to take some of the mystery out of it, and help you to feel more confident and creative in your use of color!
