New presective on old topic
From a interview with Nelson himself about colors of paint he uses.
Carol: Do you enjoy playing with new colors that become available on the market?
Nelson: Oh, I love it. I'm going berserk now with all kinds of thing as long as I feel there's a great permanency. But I don't think anything will ever replace the strong body of colors you can get with good earth colors. A dye color cannot do what a body color can do and vice-versa. The pigment may be of a little less importance than the knowledge you have. That's where the key is that unlocks it all: knowing in your mind what you want. And that takes a lot of experimentation. It also takes a freedom in painting. You can't just sit there and dabble in miniscule amounts, carefully, because you are accomplishing so little in doing so. Paint broadly and powerfully and sink yourself into it and you'll learn so much more.
