Stanka, What exactly is a balanced ego?
Mike, You are correct and incorrect. Frank Reilly said that the success is based on 80% value and 20% chroma with color being a very minor component. That said if I deliver a portrait with green skin my client, unless I'm painting Kermit, would not be amused. So in the end the color once again becomes the most important. It needs the other things, chroma and value to work properly. Most people separate painting from drawing which Reilly did with his little aphorism. Drawing, however, is by far a more critical aspect of painting and where most paintings fall apart.
So when teaching, it is incumbent upon the teacher to cover what the students think is important and incorporate that into the more essential truths.
