Mike,

The ability to mix on the fly is an ability that is most often developed with experience. Categorizing color by hue, value and chroma allows for a more objective analysis than trying to remember formulas. Reilly developed a palette which offered the opportunity to be able to remix any color and have it match perfectly. I have adapted the Reilly palette for my own purposes (having substituted some of my own colors) but I still apply the same principles. The point of learning any discipline is to ultimately allow one the flexibility to experience total freedom.

Michael,

I studied the Reilly system for ten years (part time) with John Frederick Murray who studied with Reilly for 5 years (full time). The Reilly system is a very complex curriculum which covers not only painting but drawing and picture making in great depth. I don
