Many Thanx!
Practice, practice...
This surrounding effect is a really difficult aspect, but I noticed myself at skintones one time helps another time make it more difficult.
So I understand, you all said: use limited palette (except flowers with bright colors) better to realize the mixing process
do life painting (eye-training)
do painting everyday (practice)
Now I see an advantage of the underpainting process to match colors, it works with the first value then slowly process to the right color.
Chris Saper's book explained very well (for me too) the different of Photo and Live. I see on your works many touches of little different colors in "one place", that make sense. I think that is a secret of living and vibrant colors too.
Do you mix your colors only "partially" on the palette/canvas? Since I see the photo of Tim's palette, a big yes.
My PC attempt with RGB/CMYK works only with acrylic, like the Sirius System from Lascoux (CMYK) but not in oil.(Because of different tinting power and transparency?)
PS: If I see your works... it costs an effort to go on. But I do it, then I see my "tinkers" a year ago and now.
Cheers!
