Not fair, Tim

Specifically, what I'm looking for is advice in mixing the soft soft colors. I know that this won't happen overnight. To soften a particular color do I add its complement or lighten it with white, add an earth tone, or add grey or black? Is it time for a color wheel? Is there a particular book that can guide the mixing of landscape colors, or color mixing in general. Time to place a painting in front of me and just mix colors till I've made them all! Study with a master? All of the above? Or write a new book, "How to paint like the master's in 24 hours or less".

I am serious though, even if I am kidding around. Where would you guide a fledgling?

Jean
