Bucci says a few times in the lessons that there is no real 'right' or 'wrong', and these studies are more about exploring what's possible/what works. The rule of thumb he's using here is: start with the local colour (green on the monster), and push she shadow colours colder for the parts facing the cold blue sky, and push them warmer for the parts facing the warm light reflected off the ground.
Hi, these exaples are great to learn, but i dont realy understand how can I study this principles. Should i do this by studying from photo refrences, or using my emagination to combine different colours. How your students in real class do this? BTW thanks for a great colour understanding explonation, as a begginer in colour theory, that grants me so much viable information!)

I've found the colour studies like in chapter 2b to be a nice way to study this. E.g. Identifying light vs shadow areas, which ones are warm vs cool, finding the local colours, then experiment by pushing them warmer/colder in various directions as shown in the video here. Do lots of them.

Really helped me understand how colours go together. I made this painting right after watching this video, inspired by the green monster. If anyone has any critiques or advice please say.

This is a cool character, but for the lesson it would be good to see it in the context of an environment, since that's where the colours get a lot of their context. In Bucci's examples, the light areas are pushed a lot warmer from the sun, shadow areas can take on colours from the environment, often colder if facing the sky, warmer if facing the ground, etc.
It looks like this guy is lit only by ambient light from the sky? Painting the surroundings would help the viewer understand.
The colour dodge technique was an eye-opener for me. So nice.

@Marco Bucci I can't find the handout for this lesson. Could you add it? It's the one with the heads seen at 17:11.

Do you have advice on working with values under diffuse lighting or outside in overcast weather? Or is that when it becomes important to look for other ways to indicate form (e.g. colour, perspective, ...)?
Asked for help
This is my first attempt at the figures from the videos. I find the knees most confusing and the constructions lines get lost in areas with overlapping forms. Any comments or suggestions on what I should pay more attention to?
