Value and Color

Hello,

I am new to the list, so I hope that you don't mind if I post an answer to this.

Ben Konis told us that it doesn't matter what color that you paint something as long as the value is correct.

So, when I paint something black, then the darkest values can be either be blue-black, green-black, or red-black. These are mixed in the brush together of course, and then as the value of the black lightens into the highlight area, all you do is reflect some of the color in the rest of the painting, making sure that the value is correct; you will produce beautiful and interesting and integrated or contrasted and reflected results.
