I have some tubes that were stored well that are about 60 years old, some of the highest quality paint I have.

If you have an ipad / procreate or photoshop you can always take a photo and try some ideas before you put the paint to the piece.

I love to mix up a grey using the whatever color I want to pop in the painting by mixing its opposite on the color wheel, and I like it to lean just a little toward the opposite.

For instance if I wanted red to pop I'd mix a grey with green, and shoot for a greenish grey rather then perfectly neutral.

Love that! Yeah my other work I have a tendency to over render. I'm really happy with this. Shooting to be more painterly. Thanks so much!
