In this lesson we will talk about colors. We will go through basic principles of color matching and rules for working with light and shadow.
We will analyze:
- the simplest color mix for sketching
- what colors are good for painting black skin and features of color mixtures
- selection of paints for painting white skin of children
And of course, it will all come with personal advice from the master.
