Marvin, thanks for taking the time to explain this. I had wondered how you proceeded with your color studies as well. May I join Will, flattering as diligently as I know how, in asking that you try to post a color study? You are welcome to include as many caveats as you like but it's exceedingly difficult for me, and I'm sure for many others, to grasp how you go about this without some visual cues. The mental picture I've developed from reading your description may be dead-on or may be totally off-base.
I also wondered how detailed you made your studies, since so many of your touches are quite subtle and would need either a photographic memory or eons of experience were you simply to add them to your finished painting without an excellent color model to work from.
