I really enjoy the look of a one color portrait. Some of my favorites were ones done in Sepia and Burnt Sienna. They also serve another important purpose. They forced me to be accurate about the values (percentages of light to dark).
These portraits were done in a class, with live models.
I had some problems with color before I started working in sepia. Once I understood accurate values, I was able to solve issues with color. My portraits in color looked like patchwork. I didn't understand how to blend and resolve transitions from light to dark.
It helps to do a value study. I will make one and post later.
