Hello, everyone. I struggle from going from black and white into color. For example, I did this drapery study a month ago. Usually, when I draw or paint something without color—like white cloth or plaster casts—I start by loosely sketching what I call a gesture-found contour. Then, I establish a light and shadow family using a middle value for both. From there, I add two additional values on each side—one lighter, one darker. In total, I have six different values (or 7 to 8, depending on which side I want to focus more): three for the light family and three for the shadow family. This method ensures that the darkest value in the light family is still lighter than the lightest value in the shadow family. After loosely placing these values in the correct areas with the proper shapes and refining the edges, the result is what these drapery studies look like. At this stage in my art journey, this approach is sufficient for me. However, this method seems to work best on white, colorless subjects. I struggle with adapting it for colored studies. Theoretically, I understand that with color, I must manage not only value—though value remains the most important aspect—but also hue, saturation, and, on top of everything, color temperature. I know the basic rules about warm and cool light sources and how the temperature of shadow colors tends to be opposite that of the light source, yet I still struggle with painting color. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
