At the risk of sounding like a Howie, how do you go about doing color studies?
I've spent so much time doing figure drawings and value studies and they help me to learn an absolute ton. Yet I've never done color studies and now it's starting to affect my art quality quite a bit.

Problem is idk how to do them at all. Do you just copy paste the color from your chosen subjects and create color palettes of color you like? Do you just wing it and try to get as close as possible to the original with feeling alone? Do you use gamut mapping and try to disregard the color of the subject and instead try to make the colors harmonize, even if they don't look like your subjects colors?

Any help or guides or even courses someone could point me to would be super appreciated here
