Yes Allan, there is a problem with red looking lighter, but overall
it does help a lot with reading tones.

Ilaria,
If it is pure colors it will be much lighter.

This is interesting and all, but the real burning question is ....
what's the tattoo on Chris' ankle?

Heart. Circa 1969. Low-down, run-down biker shop, New Berlin, WI.
I had a lot of nerve in those days.

Allan, the best book, the palette of a master, the most expensive brushes, none of these can make me a perfect painter, but they can help.
Those glasses are deceiving, obviously you can't entirely rely on them.
I found them useful when checking the drawing, as by eliminating colour distraction they make it easy for me to see drawing mistakes.
I have checked them out by looking at pastels on the first day I got them, and they distort tones as much as a photo can distort perspective. Still we all use photo references and correct perspective with our own experience!
But anyway, I found your researches on colour and light relationship very interesting. Did you manage to start painting again? You sound as you are spending a lot of time thinking!
