On a related note

As an added note; Your values can be right and your color wrong. If the color is right, then all other parts are right;

Color:

A. Value
B. Hue
C. intensity

I think this is sometimes misunderstood.

Hi Michael,

I respect your point, but I've always wondered if that piece by piece method maybe makes it more complicated. As I say, when you see someone on the street, your mind uses numerous devices simultaneously to recognize (or dismiss as a stranger) that person. This is a learned trait. We can learn this trait in art too. I notice if I don't paint for 3 or 4 days my skill and speed at this "reading color" decreases.
