In this full length tutorial I paint a portrait of Albert Einstein using unrealistic bold colors. The point of this exercise is to not think so much about color and more about value. Value is how light or dark a color is. Since you don't have to worry about matching color you can focus on value. Every time I pick up a new color I am thinking where does this fall on the value scale in relation to the rest of the colors.
