This is a very important lesson: Value is king and...value-correct the complimentary color BEFORE adding it to the color you're graying down. It seems that painting is a practice of mastering values. Great info. Thanks so much.

I'm paying close attention to your palette knife - I see you don't get paint on the top side and I see the tip of the knife is not a point. I think I may be using too small a knife for my mixing and will try larger sizes. The knife is the interface of controlling the palette. I'm finally understanding the value of controlling the palette after years of being a wild mess there. It certainly is a journey ;)
