This was a tough one, I especially struggled while evaluating color saturation, but the light on these photos was amazing! I tried to keep them at around the two hours mark, on some I may have worked more, on some other less though
LESSON NOTES

Please paint as many of the assignments as you can and observe how color temperature and relativity play a part.

ASSIGNMENTS

This week's focus is on making a choice and challenging yourself further in your painting journey. Here's a breakdown of your assignment options and additional recommendations:

Assignment Choices

  • Option 1: Paint the hand holding an orange.
  • Option 2: Paint the skull.
  • Additional Challenge: If you're feeling ambitious, try painting both the hand with the orange and the skull.

Further Exploration

For those seeking an extra challenge, consider painting "Early Morning" by Alexander Jakub. This piece offers a fantastic study opportunity and can deepen your understanding and appreciation of light and shadow in painting.

Extra Practice

To aid in your practice and exploration, I've added a few more images to the folder. These are meant to provide you with a variety of subjects and themes to explore at your own pace.

Reminder

Remember, the key to progress in painting is consistent practice. The more you paint, the easier and more intuitive it will become for you. Embrace the process, and don't be afraid to challenge yourself along the way.

Closing

Good luck with your painting endeavors this week! I look forward to catching up with you next week and seeing all that you've accomplished.

This was the hardest one yet! But I learned a lot from this. I spent a ton of time on the skull, and it's by far my favorite study from this course yet. I spent less on the bust and left it a little looser, but I'm still pretty happy with it.

I had a lot of fun doing this one!

Here is my submission for the Week 4 assignment. I found it quite challenging, especially the skeleton's teeth, which I really struggled with. i even completed some additional drawings using other reference images.

This week's assignment was really challenging - for me, time was the biggest hurdle. I can get down the basic colors and shadow fairly quickly, but refining the painting for the subsurface scattering, smaller details, and contours takes a REALLY long time. Most of my paintings from this week were done in around 2.5 hours. Lots of awesome paintings in here already, very inspiring! Here are mine - Done in Procreate, trying out different brushes in each one.

I could spend forever on these but I decided I’d move on and do more rather than eternally “perfecting” just these.

Here's my Week 4 assignment about color temperature and color relativity. I tried matching the colors without using the color picker. I mostly used a limited palette of similar hues but differing in saturation and values for most of these, except for the skull that's lighted with the reds and blues at each sides. Feedback and comments are welcome.

Here are my submissions for week 4. Getting better at eyeballing the colors! As per usual critiques are welcome

I love the assignments this week, although they are very challenging. I am struggling with the early morning. I tried painting directly without line art, and my results seem off to me. I think I need to study how to paint environments.

Interesting studies this week! Another one down, two more to go.

Eyeballing the colors from the Alexander Jakub painting was pretty challenging but learned a bit about color relativity.

This was enjoyable. I think I had a breakthrough with how I see color towards the end of the assignment. I do have one question though: why does the middle of the skull look purple and orange at the same time? It's very perplexing.

Here is my number 3 assignment. This one took longer then the others, with its subtle textures and lighting. Very relaxing to do though.
