What is a forum, if not a teaching opportunity?
Any problems lie in arriving at methodology by consensus . . . so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Only the outline of Marvin's teaching approach can be fully apprehended here, you'd have to take his class to get the full benefit. Meantime, even those of us who insist on re-inventing the wheel can benefit from the ordered approach that identifying one's major value separations and working from a set-palette bring to the process.
Too many beginning painters are seduced by the blather of critical word-stuffing that lauds 'intuitive" approaches, saying stupid things like "He mixed his colors right on the canvas'. If you think that's the way to approach a painting, it's going to be a long, tough haul!
