Hi Matt,
Painting is so challenging, I almost wasn’t going to send this in.
I’m having trouble seeing color values. I don’t think I even understand comments about this is warm this is cool. Is that just looking if the color is more blue or red? Also portions of the picture, like the face and hands really make me notice that I no longer have a steady hand. I guess that means just paint bigger?
When you mix colors it seems very magical. Occasionally you will say mix around 25% of this and 75% of that, Those types of clues would really help me. You would mix burnt umber and white to skin tones, again some clue on ratios would help, I could not get it to work, The only thing I’m pretty good at is black and white. But when I try to use that to dull colors everything turns gray. LOL. Plus you seem to always mix so little paint, when I mix what I think you have, it’s never near enough. What should be the consistency of my mixes? Are you thinning everything.
