Nice studies Nature, I like your lines and values.
My approach to studying colour is to take my time over it.
I start off with a best guess and put the colour down on my painting.
It will be wrong so first I ask myself should the value be lighter or darker? I squint to help me see value.
Then I ask myself is the hue right, should it be warmer or cooler?
I will often guess 5 or 6 times before I feel I've got it right.
What I've found is that if I put in the effort to get the colour right, I really like the end result and that serves as motivation to struggle through the pain of colour guessing.
Please note this is just my personal approach and if it is not helpful to you than please ignore :).
Keep it going Nature!
