RE: "Spirit" (10x8 oil on panel) painting process
I agree with you on that, the computer gets some kind of reference in place and then rest is worked out on canvas. Often I am working from black and white references and then I have to take and educated guess of where to take it. I may look at other images for colour references to figure the whole thing out.
B&W....I imagine there is freedom in that. As long as your values are good, lots of color possibilities!
I must admit I am still training my eye with judging values. Colourising a B&W has its challenges if I'm aiming for a "natural" result.
