@Coley Anticipating seeing more I know you are working on the Mermay though.

So I needed to practise step by steps. I colour swatch dotes by eye and added them to the overlay top right and then colour swatch the original and noticed I missed the dark shadow which was a deep teal and not brown (nice surprise) . So I moved over to the largest and eye balled it again with what I picked up from everything I had done. Would the original have been done in a oil brush?

@Heather-Boyd nice work It is really cool how one is surprised and learns so much from that color picking/trying to match etc.....I sure am learning a bit lately from doing that. Always surprised!
Mermay is nearly killing me lol!

@Heather-Boyd Colour matching that way really does help a LOT. I'm always surprised at wrong I am when it comes to picking colours it's almost never blue, just grey!)

My last for subjective colour composition -trying to conquer a lot in this one:
understand grey scale, eye balling colour, and trying out oil brushes.

So I tried a stab at using an overlay and multiple layer different ways. Then I enlarged my thumbnail sketch and eyeballed colours -the first I left the sketch lines in and the second I hid them.

I am very pleased, and I like the oil brushes -it's fun if not a bit frustrating pushing and pulling paint around the page. I also discovered some beautiful colours in the greys .

And so happy my clouds look like fluffy clouds in the no sketch lines one.
