Received some great feedback from Andrew on how to avoid muddyness of my values and how to keep my form lighting intact, some tips & tricks to help understand your values with your chosen lighting, and some thoughts about painting dark on light against painting light on dark. Inspiring, motivating and educational stuff! Lesson 03, here comes the colors...I guess... Cheese!
