This was the second time ive have completed this assignment. The first time I attempted this class was back when I was still studying in Vancouver. I find this painting process to be some what challenging due to the fact that when colorizing the image you also need to be aware of the saturation and value beneath and may need to be adjusted to achieve the results or vibrancy I'm looking for. Each process has its pros and drawbacks however working from greyscale to colour does enable great flexibility as and easier to build a strong foundation and structure without the distraction of colour to early on. Working in values also has the benifit of a non-destructive element as you can easily adjust the tones with adjustment layers without losing detail or information underneath. Sometimes I often find my self overpainting same areas with layers of paint too many times without making a conscious decision about why I placed that colour or value. Working for greyscale helps me to break down the individual elements and gradually work the image up without getting to overwhelmed in the process.
