When trying to make things look real, students often think the problem is that they do not know how to mix the right color, so they focus on studying color. That is not the problem - the problem is that they are not seeing things accurately. You need to learn how to see things as they really are. Once you've learned how to see shapes, values, colors and edges, you can paint anything, even portraits! - traditionally the hardest thing of all to paint. It's that simple!
Here are two techniques to help you see and paint better.
Happy painting!
