What a hoot!
Steven, you can always make me laugh till I cry. I can visualize the Taipai traffic accident, and resulting chaos. But the title appealed to my rebel nature.
Michael, I didn't buy the paint or any other products, just the book. I bought it because it did make sense, when I went to mix a color I always did it intuitively, never bought a color wheel, no special palette, and did not own one art technique book. This Forum has been the single greatest motivator for buying products than any marketing scam on the web. Here I was introduced to the subtle variations and breathtaking beauty of color in art. So I bought paint, brushes, canvas and two books. I'm learning.
I have good paint, and have been playing with the mixtures. So far so good. (I also like physics.) This makes sense to me. I always thought red and green made mud. Not exactly true, it depends on the qualities of the initial colors. Mud can have beauty and subtlety.
Chris Saper's book on skin tones opened my eyes to all the color found in flesh. This book takes theory down to small details found in any color. Hubby just came home and wants the computer, so I'll be back later.
