Shifting from black and gray work into color takes a real leap in craft because you are no longer dealing only with tone and shadow but with the entire language of hue saturation and contrast. An artist has to understand how colors heal blend and hold in the skin while still keeping the structure and discipline learned in black and gray. It demands a steady eye for balance a patient hand for layering and the courage to push past familiar limits. Making that jump is not just adding pigment but expanding a whole artistic vocabulary into a brighter and more complex arena.
