Color Study Samples



Two samples of color studies. At the top is a demo by Ja Fang Lu. Natalie Italiano created the one at the bottom.You can see here how a color study is not a finished painting, but is an exercise to understand the way colors relate to each other, in order to capture the feeling of illumination of your subject.

Colours should not be tormented. Colours should be applied simply, directly, and separately.

Rubens, "De Lumine et De Colores:" 1635
