There’s no wrong answer here, but paying attention to those design details really pays off in the end. Some families have homes that are mostly white and gray, while others prefer blues and navy in their surroundings, or earth-tones. Join Corey as she uses expressive brushstrokes and color placement to capture those emotions while painting a portrait of a young man. The other important aspect of how I put everything together is infusing each family’s specific interior style into the wardrobe selection (especially if that portrait is going up on a wall in that environment). There's a story there, a connection between the portrait subject and the viewer, emotions waiting to be shared. It makes the photograph that much more interesting and visually appealing, too. When clients and I sit down to hand-select outfits as part of our in-home styling appointment, I make sure to vary colors so that each person bring their own personal style into the portrait.

It was a long road from black-and-white film photography to the vibrant colored images we see today. By putting all the darker tones around her white face I’ll make it stand out from the rest of the composition. Watercolour is very often a matter of finding a way to create contrast, because the medium itself is rather pale and desaturated. I place the darkest colours all around the character’s face because I’ve decided that I’ll keep her face completely white. This is also the stage when I block in my composition.
