I'm really excited to try it. You can only fail so long. I'm glad i kept knocking at the door and you might be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I just learned golf and putting about 50 years of frustration so i say never give up, never give in and and never say never.

I see your work and it's very much like where I'd like to be. Though I've painted for years, I'm still a beginner, and this seems a very good place to begin. As I see it, I've gravitated toward this understanding of color and painting intuitively anyway. My current and past teachers never offered a convincing pallet from which to start. It is sort of like finding the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm in Michigan so sort of isolated.Chris Bungarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340044488740196540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205035822208076885.post-88873167629849338972009-03-05T18:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T18:42:00.000-05:00Hello Diana,It's interesting that you use 8 values...Hello Diana,<BR/>It's interesting that you use 8 values.<BR/>I use 9 based on the Munsell Gray Scales.<BR/><BR/>Frank Mason uses 12 or at least as many to fit the values of the DuMond palette.<BR/><BR/>What is the mixture of your greens? <BR/>I use Cad Yellow Light and Ultramarine Blue for the middle to lower values. For the high keyed greens it's Cad Yellow Light, Titanium White and a pinch of pthalo and this is mixed up from the middle value green.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.com
