Color study

I'm trying out a new paint program called Krita and enjoying it so far.  Here's a color study I did using it.  It's a frame from a film called Pina.  (A frame picked by the blog Movies In Color.)

It feels good to flex my art muscles again.  I'm finding the hard part is having a mental plan to drive action and also having the endurance and discipline to follow through.  It'll be especially important now that the free time I have is more limited.  It's something to work on this year.

Did another color study.  This is a frame from The Godfather, which, I admittedly, have not seen.  Cinematography on this shot is pretty amazing.  Had to experiment a bit to pick up the green in the upper right corner darks, and the blues in the middle gray area.  This one was pretty fun.

Jason Sheier, a concept artist from work, gave a great tip about learning color for concept art paintings.  I'm starting a series of color studies where I pick out entries from the blog moviesincolor.com, and try to replicate them.  Hopefully, as I get better with color, it will look closer and closer.  Here's a first attempt.
