Amanda,
Klick on the links to his video demos on the site.
Carder has made a piece of metal, about 4" long, with a round hole in the one end and at the tip in the other end he paint the color that he is mixing. Then he hold the Color Checker, as he call it, up so he can see both his mixed color and the color on the model through the hole in the Color Checker.
Pretty smart if you ask me!!!!
Directly measuring the paint he want to put on the painting with the color/value on the motif. If one can make it work.
