Learn to mix every red possible in oil paint.

The common wisdom is that values do all the work and "color" gets all the credit, but it's flawed thinking. Color is made up of three qualities, not one or two. Values do their work, and are important but if you are struggling to get hues and chroma correct all that work can be for naught. 

Beautiful hues and chroma makes the magic happen! And anyone willing to practice mixing color for no more than 15 minutes a day for one month can mix any red they desire.

The photos in the banner above represent the array of reds one might encounter in their painting subjects, from 2.5R on the left to 5R, 7.5R and 10R on the right.

I love matching the colors I see and need in every painting. It's deeply satisfying and brings value to the finished work. But in the painting above, a cropped study of William Bouguereau's La Moissoneuse, I really felt the pressure to match his reds, especially since this painting is 48" by 48" and was heading to Arcadia Gallery. I credit my knowledge of Munsell for helping me succeed.
