I would recommend reading about the topic of color relativity. Also keep painting on diffused white light situations to get good at playing with local color and value, don't do roughs try to get them as finished as possible then transition in different types of light and light color. Keep going!
thanks for your response! i've always struggled a lot with colors, and despite having read lots on the subject, i'm terrible with executing it. that comes with more practice, i suppose! i read somewhere that you should try to limit yourself to a certain amount of time when studying, but i'm not sure what the rationale behind it is besides getting you to do more, quantitatively and not overworking yourself. do you think there's more value in trying to get things more finished? i'm afraid i'll be trying to fight too many battles at once... i will read up on color relativity for sure! for now my main goal is to see values and hues more accurately, which is something that will hopefully develop the more studies i do.
