Sure photos arent the most reliable source, but they are a starting point to what you could aim for.Try digital as it could help you learn the principles of painting actually faster and more efficiently since most of what youre gonna be doing is finding color and value.
After you picked all the swatches from the photo, print them out then try and manually mix the colors with the paint right next to the swatch, that outta help ya ;)
That's a really good idea! It never crossed my mind to try that so thank you, I'll give it ago with some of my previous paintings. Should prob use my camera for ref rather than my phone just so I can get a higher quality photo.
