@jfan Thanks! I used the complementary of green to get a good color harmony, still have a lot to learn though
Here is the final assignment for Jonathan Hardesty's course at Schoolism. Learned a lot about value and color relationships, you basically constantly have to compare proportion, values, edges and colors to each other. And color is a lot less complicated than i though, if u think of it as warms vs cools. I get the theory but i still suck at practice haha. I would recommend taking that course anyways because he covers a lot of foundational stuff.
I spent about 6 hours on this painting, planning to learn more about portraits in the future
