Sargent's Fleshtones (Patreon)

Color is ALL about relationships. This portrait by John Singer Sargent is full to the brim with color diversity. In the original image on the left we can see those relationships expressed in their original positions. The image on the right contains the exact same values, only all of the color is tinted towards the cooler (blue) end side of the spectrum. Both images work well and have a naturalistic feeling due to the range of the color expressed in them. If we use good values and express a full range of color in fleshtones, from the warmest to the coolest we can always arrive at a natural feeling result. 

I definitely feel another master copy tutorial coming on!

Cheers,
