Hi Morgan! I loved this inside out method. It allowed me to work on the little girl's face one day, hair and background the next day and on her body and dress the day after without worrying about paint might get dry. I have noticed that skin colours got darker and duller on the third day of painting. So had to lighten up the skin colour and half tones in order to give it its freshness. The painting was half dry and probably I shouldn't have done it. Anyway it was a bit disappointing to see my values had changed. Does it happen to other people, I wonder?
Hair was my biggest struggle. (I couldn't get the colour right.) I enjoyed painting her dress. I would love to hear your feedback. Thank you for an amazing course. Now it is time for me to put into practice what I have learned so far.

This is very good. My wish for you is to measure more. Really observe the photo and compare to you painting. Use rapid eye movement back and forth with each area and overall. The better you get at measuring the more professional it will look.
Very nice job. On the costume, try warming your lights a little more toward amber and cool your shadow color slightly more toward red. Using analogous hues on the color wheel when modeling light and shadow creates more visual interest. It depends on the effect your light source has on your local color too. Try using the most intense color for the halftone next to the core shadow, as you've nicely done on your cheek.

Here is my assignment for values. Please ignore the noise in the shadow inside the hat area. It is my old printer that made the paper wrinkly. Thank you.

Thank you Morgan for adding new squinting lessons and assignments. I enjoyed doing this. Here is my first one.

Hello Morgan,
Thanks again for an amazing course, I am learning a lot. It teaches me how to approach to a portrait drawing and painting with a clear structure that I was lacking before. This is the course I have been waiting for years. Thanks a lot.
This is my first oil portrait. The value of the ear seems a bit light. But when I squint it reads as a part of shadow family, so I am a bit confused if I should darken its value or it is ok like this.
I tried my best to get the colour of the his shirt right (like in your painting- a bit cooler green). But I couldn't get it right unfortunately. When I mix yellow and black, I get warm green, when I add more blacks to it gets darker, not the cooler. Adding whites didn't help either. Any tips would be useful, thanks.
In real finished painting there are more subtle colour variations and modelling, unfortunately camera flattens it all.
Thanks for your feedback in advance.

needs to go darker.should look like what it looks like when you squint. Other than that, you are doing good.

I can tell you tried very hard with your measuring. Unfortunately, I think the chin got a little bit away from you and got heavier than it really was. But it feels solid.

I found this exercise incredibly useful. It forces you to see differently and challenges you a lot. Thanks a loooot, Stan! I loved them and will do more.
