An image done to learn colors and paint from a photograph. No measuring was done, just start and see where i end up.

The idea is to learn colors and values and paint about one and a half hours for the image.

Tell me waht you think. The likeness is not good , i know... It was not really the goal but i must pay better attention.

post the refrence :D then we can see what is what value/color wise. For me when im painting it is easier to lay down values highlights/shadows then color though this is just my way...i would say as of now your piece is a bit dark and the bg has noticable things but cant really see its this or that....
