Hi Deladier,
Yes, I've painted nine values of the Munsel chart, and nine values of another chart with 12 colors which is slightly different. Actually, I've painted several of each using different color combinations in order to narrow down the number of tubes I have to carry.
What I found, however, was that in order to properly do either chart (all nine values of each hue) I needed all the colors I started with and even added two more. It's less than some people carry, more than others. And there are probably two or three colors that I'll rarely use, if ever, because I want to eventually work in classical portraiture. However, I am now confident that I can mix anything with my little bag of stuff so I'll never be caught short.
It was alot of work, and right now I'm doing more studying than painting. But I know it'll pay off as my work improves.
