Here's a little piece I've been working on for the past few months. My color theory has always been a little weak, so I purchased James Gurney's Color and Light and started this as an exercise.
I've limited myself to only four colors and have found that even with that limitation, a painter can still blend a huge range of values and hues.
Not only does the glow of the moth affect the coloring but the different plant species will also be different values as well. This still needs a bit of work to bring it all together, but I've been delighted with the overall outcome.
