Impressionism and Post Impressionism. Portrait in Cold and Warm Colours (Week 18)

This week's focus was ensuring we could combine our use of colour.

My approach was doing shadows in cooler tones and midtones in warmer colours.

Some initial problems I had were the eyes, it was hard to get a defined structure - another setback that didn't help were the pencils I used, I had a set of prismacolor, which are high quality, but I was a bit anxious to actually commit to any form definition due to the fact the pencil didn't erase easily, if at all.

But overall, when I started to plot in the colour and work my way through, I realised that adding higher contrast to the piece worked and it shows in the most recent result.

I would say overall, I am good at identifying colour and applying it, but the actual committing to placing down form and anatomy is a bit rocky and I would like to continue to improve this.
