Features: When learning about color, (intuitive understanding) of color often exceeds (rational understanding). However, the basic principles and rules of color, as well as aesthetic awareness, are still established through practice. During practice, actively sketch and study still lifes or portraits with different color tone relationships. Each set of exercises should have distinct elements, allowing for targeted and purposeful practice, which will lead to faster progress. Color portrait training enhances the understanding of color's basic principles and rules, as well as the correct methods for observing and expressing color. The ability to sense and understand color is crucial. Training with different live models for targeted color control and in-depth rendering helps improve the skills of actively recognizing and applying color, summarizing color, and color rendering. In regular training, dedicated sketching and study of real-life portraits, half-length figures, and full-body figures of different ages and genders are essential. This further reinforces the perception and understanding of light and color phenomena, improving the ability to accurately portray subjects and control the overall color relationships in a composition.
