Hi all,
I have had tremendous help from using the earth color based palette combined with deliberate use of the value system. I find that it is easier to hit the right color when using basic colors that are close to what I actually need.
Some weeks ago I went to the National Gallery in London where Rembrandt, among others, is represented with several of his best paintings. It was obvious that he went from using strong bright colors in his youth to more quiet colors as he grow as an artist. The later portraits was less colorful but more glowing from emotion. That was obviously a result of his mastering of the values AND the colors.
I have no objections against using Cadmiums or other new paints, but find that is
