I had to re-read my post. I never claimed that there was a big secret, although the demonstration I cited claims that the method had been largely abandoned because of the influence of the Impressionists.
All I wanted to know was whether this is a traditional use of medium, and whether anyone here does it that way.
In a parallel universe somewhere, there's a guy posting a question about sight-size painting, only to be chastised by responses urging him to avoid so-called "secrets of the masters".
If I haven't learned it yet, it's still a secret to me.
