No, I never take colors directly from reference photos, reference can give me many things but not everything。

I‘d like always think about what’s the mood and vibe I realy wanted in my mind and play it with light and colors .

after all，we are painting with thoughts，but not copy machines ，right？ 🤓

Of course，like I said , reference can give me many things ( including color and lighting) ,but not everything, which means I do study the color vibe from reference but not simply copy it.
